No, you'd want a moderately long timeout. It would return instantly the minute a new roll is available; the only reason for the timeout is so that *if* the server goes offline, the user's browser doesn't get stuck forever in a holding pattern. The length of the timeout won't matter otherwise: the rolls should show up instantly. -- Robin Munn [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key 0xD6497014
