As orders come in, the cluster cannot handle the peak load, so we need to queue the orders using some such technology until the cluster can process them. These queues are actually mini-databases as they often support saving to disk, replication, commit-rollback etc. without the overhead of relational databases (though you can implement it with relational db technology). Hope that helps clarify things and doesn't get me as much flak as my discussion of private members :-) Regards, John
