Joel,

Thanks for the quick response - OK looks like we'll pursue an interim
route of mod_rewrite and focus on splitting the dir-structure for a
future code release :)

ocfs2 works really well for us in its present state (the 32000-dir limit
aside), and I'm hesistant to start tinkering around with bleeding-edge
code!

Cheers,
Gavin.
