If you need anyone to help be your test-dummy for multiroom support, I'd be happy to help. Up until last week I was just going to buy 4 20w-amps & 4 Pis to power my 4 rooms, but I recently got ambitious and want to see if I can hav

The problem I've always had with this is that DNS root levels (., no www) can't be a CNAME - unless there are any DNS gurus in the audience that can point to some alternate configuration I've overlooked.

Support for the mysql_ library is being deprecated. Support for the mysqli library is alive and well (although I personally think people should adopt PDO anyway.)
