(If only Amazon would allow multiple IPs per server, we could also do multiple SSL certificates per server.)<br/><br/>As for physical machines, they're so 2007. :-) More seriously, if you have very secret data or need to transfer large amounts of data between your local network and your server, a physical server may be the way to go. If not, the amount of time saved by not messing about with hardware and backups more than makes up for the possibly higher cost, in my opinion. Hi Nick, thanks for the input!

We would need to generify it a little for that to be useful, I think. In the meanwhile, I'd be happy to send you excerpts from the (Java) code if you'd like to see how we've implemented it. Drop me an email at kyrre@kalibera.com.<br/><br/>Kyrre Hey Charlie,
