Hi smoody, No I've never investigated memcachedb. Lots of the tools people have been suggesting are new to me. I'm reading and trying to learn as much as I can so I can communicate better with folks that have been doing this level of programming for years, but it takes a while since there's a lot to grasp here, and I have to keep it all "in perspective" relative to the business requirements. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll keep it in mind and mention it to the engineers I discuss this project with when I'm ready to hire them. When an engineer can explain something to me in simple terms that I can understand -- even when I don't really have the background to understand it -- I know I've found an engineer who has the kind of communication skills that make him exceptionally valuable to me. :)
