Personally I would write to a local file all the time and have a second process that reads that file and updates the server. That way you don't have to worry about external resources in your main program. As a side effect, you automatically get a local backup. If the server goes down your secondary process deals with it, not your primary app that is handling your user requests. -- D'Arcy J.M.
