Sorry about the delay in getting back to you -- been busy getting married,

this week :-).

I can go ahead and allocate a number, but probably need more information

I won't promise great knowledge, but I have at least a working knowledge.
I'll try this out sometime in the next week or so and see how it runs.
BTW, your description revolves around 4.3-RELEASE -- have you given it a
try at all on 5.0-CURRENT?
