Sorry, by the time I'd read the later responses I'd forgotten you'd  
posted about this previously.

Yes with your approach you do have it covered. I don't have anything  
on the Apache server machine to test the FileMaker Server machine. So  
far all of my solutions are using BlackBelt from FMWebSchool running  
my olde CDML files with some modifications to them.

But I'm about ready to start the move away from BlackBelt I think.
