We just use IIS for our intranet web applications. We can install it on our
servers as they are manufactured and it's really easy to set up.

There are restrictions to doing web applications of course, but you can do a
lot of coding server-side if you know the server will have access and
permission to update areas on the intranet.

Nice concept. I think one of the challenges will be how to restrict or
track "uses". You may have that all worked out though.

This patent issued in 2005. The task that I am undertaking
is very large.

Developing projects that each require several man-years
while holding down a full-time job takes a long time. It is
like trying to get a bachelors degree taking one course at a
time.

This simply is a result of the way the nntp servers propogate the posts. An
intelligent person might see an analogy and then question their premise
about server locality and how tcp/ip traffic finds it's route to its
ultimate destination and whether the physical locality of a server
guarantees a specific route. That same intelligent person might then do some
research... ;-)

My trick is to make this web server installed a the client
site have as close to as possible impenetrable security
because I am adding trade secret to my intellectual property
protection. I think that I have this essentially figured
out.

The one part that I do not have completely figured out is
exactly how I can make it close to impossible for anyone to
physically open the machine without detection. I have
figured out ways to make this mostly (but not completely)
moot. I have also figured out ways to make case access
security extremely difficult to circumvent.
