AFAIK, this is totally viable. And I don't know why IBM doesn't push it more; I 
can imagine a number of good ads and commercials based on something like the 
old Prego "It's in there" series. ("What about the DMZ?" "It's in there." "What 
about the...?" "It's in there!")

I'd probably send a question off to iSeries Nation like "Here's what I'm 
thinking -- (describe it) -- What I want to know is is it feasible and does IBM 
have any decent material to support my premise?"

Can't hurt.
