Thanks for this -- and as a sys-admin by trade, I agree with the general
ideas here.

Nod. This was the genesis of the original sandbox server proposal -- and we
did quite a bit with it in the beginning. I begged/borrowed/stole space, to
demonstrate some of the possibilities.

There was a previous e-mail about this -- I replied I would be willing,
depending on what it entailed. Does the "renter" have to be just the "root
of roots", or is there lots of paperwork and other stuff to consider? I just
want to know how deep the pond/lake/ocean is before I jump in. :)

Thanks,
Gerald
