We are about a week away from being live on a totally new server, so if
you have suggestions, start getting them to me (and Dave) real soon. 
It's easier to configure something if the something isn't live yet. :)

As for NFS mounts and limited access uploading, that's a cool plan by
me.  Only problem I can forsee is abuse of system, etc... but mostly the
AQ2 crowd are pretty cool (well, the ones I play with are), so I doubt
that'd be an issue.
