Mike:

I was wondering if you might want your own "virtual server" for
banner.
Advantages:

-Load balancing... banner could be migrated to a different cluster node
if the "share" volume is under heavy load for improved performance.
-Portability... banner could be moved to a stand-alone server for
improved performance of both Gemini and Banner.

I have about 4 Gb of unpartitioned space on Gemini.   I could create a
virtual server with this if you think it would be a benefit.
