Art,

Here is an updated patch against CVS.  The only difference from the original
is a small change in httpstatus.cpp that stops an infinite loop if a remote
encoder is offline.

I finally have a remote backend working and have tested this patch with it.
The only thing that I noticed is that, every once and a while, the two
backends have problems communicating.  This would result in what seems like
a lock when the master backend is calling the remote encoders GetState()
method.  I'm not sure if this is a problem in the communications layer or
just the fact that my remote backend is actually running in a "Microsoft
Virtual Server 2005" session.  Either way, the call to get the slave backend
state is the same as it was before my changes.

Hope the attached patch is usable for you.  Let me know if you notice
anything else, and I will try to fix it ASAP.

Thanks,

David.
