Thanks much for the help - despite reading it a few times, I overlooked this before in the reference docs. The stick table is a great feature.
Willy -- thanks for your comment on double-posting to Serverfault and here. I didn't get a response on Server Fault, so I moved my question over to the user list. I think it's helpful to have that message stay live (I'll "accept" your answer that the response so that it's clear it is resolved). Thanks again.
