Ahh sounds like what I'd be doing.  Although I'm not really sure what
you mean by `via ISCSI' (a scsi transport?)

Hehe... no slam intended... some people do obfuscate there email on
lists such as this, and yours is somewhat unusual looking.

I've had people say the same thing about mine... `newsguy' sounds kind
of made up. (True story =>) It used to be `zippo.com' some yrs ago but
they were sued by the famous `Zippo' lighter people and had to change
the name. They picked the silly name `newsguy'.
