Actuallym, not true ... the FS is used to reduce the overall amount of 
disk space required, since ~90% of the jail is redundant ... when I can 
get a dedicated server in place, and only have the 10 or so VMs running on 
it, then disk space is no longer an issue, so I can easily get rid of the 
FS component ... that would get rid of the crashes ...

I think you are the only 'known to work site' ... so, if I setup a round 
robin between the Panama and Canadian location for www.postgresql.org, 
would you be okay with the extra load? :)  If so, I'll get to work on the 
coding changing required for the DNS ...

'k, will have to read through, but first scan, would the replace our 
current search system, or would the 'Google search box' be on the right of 
the screen, or ... ?  Without me reading it all the way through, do you 
already know?
