Hi Markus,
Thanks for your input - I wondered something: I know this question depends
on my AD infrastructure but how many requests/ps can the 10 Kerberos
children optimally handle? Could I increase it to increase the Kerberos
availability - say to 20 children? Or is that a bad idea?

Also, forgive the obvious but how do I check which libraries I am using
again..?
Thanks,
Nick
