Manu, Is there any encryption offered for the network transport layer? So far I've not seen anything like SSL support and that makes me uneasy when dealing with CC and other compliancy-ridden data. It's a neat concept, though, that apparently works well. Do you use the clustering functionality? How much network bandwidth does it consume on average?
