Ah!  That makes a lot more sense.

You shouldn't have any problems with that then.  The tricky
part (relatively speaking) is to keep dynamic pools in
sync.  If you don't care about that, then it's fairly
simple from a software point of view.  The burden is now on
you to make sure that the static assignments are kept
consistent.

I would still recommend a delay of some sort before server
Beta replies though, just to minimize the chance of confusion.
