Well, this big, fully Internetted site has been running a dynafeed
server for close to a year, and has released a set of perl scripts to
make it easier to administer.  We feed four "small tight-budget sites"
(only one of which is submitting subscription requests, sigh) and four
internet sites which only wanted partial feeds.  It works like a champ;
it takes less than a minute each 1/2 hour to service each site.
