I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you did. I was trying to make a general point that you need connection pooling licences if you connection pool however you do it. > > We scale quite remarkable well.

Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not accusing you of breaking the letter of the license agreement, but I think it is breaking the intention of it. Quite what 'connection pooling' and 'multiplexing' really is can be debated, but essentially what they want is for you to pay more for databases licenses that support multiple users than you do that are tied to one user. And having a small number of database licenses supporting a large number of users is exactly what you are doing George _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
