Yes. I considered it but I figured the DB2 storage engine would give me the
same benefit. We are not doing this just for Mantis. It is just the first
project, but not the last. We're getting ready to redo our corporate home
page using an open source CMS system as well.

Glad to hear it. But you might still want to consider a switch to mantis/400 - or at least do some comparisons. Mantis uses a database abstraction layer (PDO?) - so when you use MySQL you will be going though that layer and then (effectively) an additional abstraction layer to store in DB2. Although the DB2 storage engine performs well, it doesn't seem quite a fast as using "native" MySQL with the default engine.
