Well I think Master/slave would do for the initial 'back-up' site, just to
keep it up to date, although some day down the road load balancing sites might
be a real solution for taming huge loads.

Sweet, I'll direct our developers that direction and see if they can get
what they need out of that, thanks!

Really, confidential, go figure eh? Hopefully our guys are smart enough
to get what they need out of the existing code. If they do release the 
docs, I know we'd be interested in checking them out. 

I think at this point we are thinking either A.) create 'upper middleware' 
that sites between clients and controllers for the purpose of replication 
or B.) Modify the controllers to do the job. Either way I will let you know
how it goes.

cheers
Roy
