Whoah! Thanks for the quick and very detailed answer. I look forward
to read further comments to it from other expert sysadmins here. Me,
I'll print it out and mull it over for 3/4 days to metabolyze all the
concepts, so don't be surprised if you don't hear from me again on
this topic soon, but it is really helpful.

Thanks,
	Marco
