Thanks - I started to respond with this paragraph a couple of days ago and got swamped with work and forgot about it. If there were a way to direct writes to the master and reads from the local slave copy, that would be ideal - but I think that defies the way things like to work. I'll be playing with 3.0 when it happens and will report back if I come up with anything that works. Mick
