Filip,
Yeah, I just went back and re-read the Engine config documentation. It seems as
though I misunderstood it when I read it last time.
"When using muliple Service elements
in the same Server, each Engine MUST
be assigned a unique name."
I was thinking it was saying each Engine had to have a unique name in the
service it was defined within...but each service can only have one so what
would be the point of that statement. :)
Thanks for the clarification.
