UML is ideal for the purpose of security etc - but too slow on 
performance. We can have up to 200,000 users on a box, so I would have 
to pool the startup and stop for each on demand - which is going to be 
too slow.

This looks great. I have downloaded and am playing with a copy. It 
seems to be more of an applet than a back end but should not be hard to 
play with or change.

Thanks
