I"ve been told by the people looking into doing it, of which
I'm not one of, that it is possible to do. They said it does require
additional hardware though, and in fact it sounds like some pretty
major changes too. I thought it sounded pretty far fetched, but
since I don't have access to the machine, other than the fact that it
physically sits in our server room, I'm not at all familiar with how
they have it set up.
