As soon as I have things setup and can afford the time off I certainly 
will :)  the new software delivery system I'm working on will allow me 
to run most of my business from anywhere. So soon I should be able to 
take kind of holidays, still have some work, but different scenery at 
least, lol.

I'm researching having my own machines at this point, hence the 
questions. If load balancing is the only real way to do it, then that's 
what I'll be looking into. The software will be designed to work on any 
server, not just mine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ignoring suggestions, I'm taking it all on 
board and wading my way through things. Recently I've been working with 
the FastCGI developers on updates for their site... all that came from 
some very helpful advice I got on this list.
