Hi - just a clarification question - when you say 10k users per Cyrus  
instance and you mentioned in an earlier message each machine hosts  
"multiple (in the teens) of this size stores," does this include the  
replicas?  So for example, one of your xSeries boxes might host 16  
instances, 8 master, 8 replica, so the box would master about 80k  
users and provide replica backups for another 80K users?

Thanks for the info.  I'm looking for sizing hints as we plan to move  
our 40,000+ UW IMAP users (spread over 7 xSeries 346/3650 and 6  
RS6000) to Cyrus.
