Security wise, there are many tools for testing the security of your web server, hopefully, you are concurrent on your server testing: http://projects.webappsec.org/w/page/13246988/Web Application Security Scanner List open source list at the bottom.... Google for php-<version>-bugs to see if any related to your servers. If what you have done is secure, then it *should* be ok, just monitor and watch your logs closely for a while. hth, James
