If these clients *know* you, and *trust* you, and know anything about security, there is no reason why you couldn't get away with a self-signed cert. If not, http://www.instantssl.com/ Yes, I work for them. No, I won't make any comment comparing us to anyone else. No, I can't get you, or anyone else, a discount. No, I can't give you any support, tell you anything about the internal workings, or disclose any detail on security procedures. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
