Mike,
Alex is correct, I'm not talking about having to
make use of Apache but more along the lines of third
party plugins, such as stats tracking plugin, used at
my company. I've been playing with Orion for some time
now and think it's a great product. However, we have
certain web server requirements, such as third party
plugins, that we cannot go without.
