Karl,

As far as I know, the IDS (intrusion detection system) in front of the  
Duke network does not monitor HTTP-related ports for large amounts of  
connections (I don't think HTTP would work very well if it did).  So  
as long as you're just using 80/443, I don't think you should have any  
problems hosting it on papio.  If there's some non-standard port at  
large, let me know and I can check with the security office.
