I do have multiple IP addresses on a single interface, for other
reasons. I've been staring at your suggestion trying to see how that
would help me mount a local volume as if it were a remote afp volume. 
I must be thick.  Can you please elaborate?

Yes, I didn't mention SQLite because a didn't want to repeat a discussion
I've had elsewhere about the potential problems.  For the time being, I
will be using SQLite but may consider a more enterprise-class solution
later.  I'm sure you realize that it is a significant engineering effort,
and one that Apple has not been willing to undertake, to use, say, MySQL.

Thanks,

Steve
