Carel-Jan,
Yes, the connection is pushed to its limits and we'd need about 20
times the bandwidth to support our highest rate of redo generation.
I'll look into the ssh and compression, thanks.
There was an exchange about Double-Take on this list a couple of years
ago (I remembered to search the archives _after_ I sent my post!).
Apparently it was made to work, but not without a visit from the
vendor's tech support folks.
Thanks,
Paul Baumgartel
