Carrie, I already suggested she visit that site in my post you replied to
earlier.  Perhaps you didn't read past the first line.  =)  I hope Karen
doesn't think my earlier reply was rude (I made a joke, not a flame and I
pointed her to a much_better tool for gathering the info. she is looking
for), but anyone that asks about colocation suggestions on a Cobalt security
list has either not done her homework, doesn't know how to use a search
engine like google or is just plain lazy and considerate.  I do not know
which is the case for Karen nor does it matter, but in any case the sooner
someone like her realizes what is expected and what is effective, the better
off that person will be.  Mailing lists are a great resource, but there are
many topic specific mailing lists, there are other resources and many of us
appreciate it when it appears effort has been made to find/utilize the right
resources, do some homework first and elaborate on criteria, background and
info. that is relevant to the question posed.  I'm afraid Karen demonstrated
no such effort and was pretty vague, yet I was kind enough to point her in
the right direction and suggest that the website I mentioned was likely a
better all around resource for her needs.
