*** This is part of the problem. Don't have extra cash floating around. In fact the server is an old 2.8 Ghz box with 2-3 GB in it. I am basically trying to use the tech I do have until I am at a point where I can justify the extra expense. Yes...will be a little bit more of a challenge but you can only do what you can with what you have. I have heard about gluster & have thought about using it.
