It's nice to here this technology works. I don't have a use for it yet
but I'm working on it. Most of the networks I deal with are small.
However, I have been thinking about large mail systems. One where you
farm out SMTP and IMAP. The big question is where do you store the
email? I was thinking it could be done over NFS. According to some on
the list this is a bad idea.

Maybe ATA over Ethernet is the way to go. There's also iSCSI. I have no
idea what that is.

I'm also looking into large terminal server deployments. Lets say you
have three terminal servers and one file server. All data is stored on
the file server and mounted across the network. Again I was thinking of
mounting the home directory using NFS. Maybe iSCSI or ATA over Ethernet
is the way to go.

So much new technology and no time to learn.
