    How would that work though?  I'd still have to manually create the 
folder on the remote www server, don't I?  And permissions?  I haven't 
(ever) looked into using the automounter, so I have no clue how that all 
ties into one another.  I was trying to figure out something with NIS 
and NFS, but at the moment I'm also trying to get a large backup server 
online.
