Yes it does support remote indexing, but it's slower and you have to deal
with broken links.  We really should strive to do as much local mirroring
and then index that as possible.

I figure we will all have some hand in managing the box.  And no matter

increasing security.

Maybe we can get SEUL to be primary DNS?  NaviSite would secondary.
