FWIW, I think this is the wrong approach - full-blown pushing makes much more sense since it's a full superset of mirroring and it's more universal, and not *that* more complicated to do (basically just the HEAD stuff - and I think the race conditions around that don't matter that much in the real life if you take some basic crude protections). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor
