it is *certainly* of benefit to your clients, but just keep in mind as you
move forward that it is *not* meant to be a drop-in replacement for apache.
you ought to be able to get your system up and working-- are you able to
change the payment processing code to do something slightly different? if
you have control of that code, you can just make it write to some 'standard'
file someplace, and write python code to read it in and process it.. in just
thinking about it, it ought to be a really quick project. if I can answer
any quesions or anything, feel free to fire away either directly or to the
list.. this sounds like a cool project! ;)
