[FX.php List] GET vs. POST in a web app

[John May]

Right - you can have one FileMaker Web Server 
Module connect to multiple WPE's, no problem.  We 
do that to allow all of our web servers to be 
able to connect to all of our FMSA boxes.  In 
fact, we go a step further and put the JKFmMount 
definitions in each <virtualhost> to configure 
which FMSA box is connected on a per-site basis.
