That particular term is in place to prevent misuse of our hosting environment, specifically developers that attempt to deploy the same application to multiple IDs and use a "gateway" application to choose between these applications randomly to distribute the load evenly. Unfortunately, the term does exclude more legitimate reasons to use multiple application IDs like your use case, although we can grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

If you use a single application and just set up a cron job to run every minute, that shouldn't affect the performance of the more interactive aspect of your application. - Jason On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 9:16 AM, A1programmer <[email protected]>wrote: > I know that section 4.4 of the agreement says: > > 4.4.
