Well, yes it is mission critical, but that doesn't mean we're prepared to spend money on it :) We've been waiting the best part of a year to get approval to buy the new servers so a load balancer is out of the question. In fact now I think we'd be lucky to get a new KVM :( And we'd need two load balancers anyway, or we'd have just introduced a new single point of failure. If in a year or two we get a significant number of new servers I might suggest it though. Ashley
