The replicating server is not on the internet, rather it is on the same 
class c network as the production server.

The handle prefix is something we do not need to worry about at this 
stage as we are not currently using a global or local handle, although 
I'm assuming the handle prefix would be the same for two or more servers 
in a cluster as the handle prefix identifies the site and not the 
individual server. That said, my understanding of handles is limited 
(we've just started investigating setting up a handle for our production 
server) and I my assumptions may need correcting.

Cheers
