[AG-TECH] Will the Moo resurface?

[Randy Groves]

Sounds like a nice idea.  I realized however, that we need to make sure 
that we don't start proliferating protocols and ports that need to be open 
on a firewall.  That to me was one of the major problems with AG 1.  AG 2 
goes a long way to fixing this, and will be one of the ways that I may be 
able to solve the perimeter problem to the satisfaction of the security 
folks (that is yet to be tested, though).  Unfortunately, I think the trend 
is to more firewalls rather than less.  I would hate to start crippling 
those unfortunate enough to have to live behind them.
