I would be happy to take a stab at it, but realistically it'll be a couple of
weeks before you can expect any results.  I'm kinda busy with work right now...

I question the need for a separate "watchdog" application -- why not just have
the CGI adaptor start up a new appserver if the old one isn't responding?  That's
what I suggested in my proposal...

Also, what logic would be used to decide to start up a new appserver?  Would we
automatically start up N appservers based on a configuration parameter, or start
out with just one appserver and only start up a new one when that one says it's
dying or when it can't be contacted and is presumed dead?
