Whew, thanks for the comprehensive answer, as always Marcus. I'll
poke around the references you gave me. Couple quick questions:

Yeah, our images are served up via IIS instead. Why is this a $$
issue?

Unfortunately Weblogic is apparently the app server of choice here. I
doubt they'd ever go the route of open source app servers. Let's just
say it's the typical corporate IT scenario here and leave it at that.
We have X amount of licenses for Weblogic and it's not a price issue
at all, trust me. I think their concerns are security and what can be
done. 

I don't pretend to understand all this - but I'm trying. It just
drove me nuts on our last project that we couldn't make simple
changes that would benefit a site in the search engines (like have
www.mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com/homepage.jsp for
example) because of some of these issues.

Thanks!

Tom
