Well maybe if you define "dynamic content" for me. I mean that
covers a lot of ground. For example talking to a database is cake but
providing a live traceroute function is a whole nother story..

I was really hoping Server03 web edition would have some of those features
but it turned out to be just a hybrid version of workstation/server with a
special license to address some ISP issues and create others. I agree about
the overhead issues and I believe there are probably some serious licensing
issues as well with the virtual approach.
