Yeah, I realized the errors in my thought processes after Sandro 
straightened me out yesterday ;)

Quick question, tho, for any of you Sourcefire guys and gals:

If I understand correctly, one of the most sifnificant improvements you 
guys have made is in database logging speed and resulting query 
performance. I think, based on a discussion I had with someone there 
several months back, that the database sw you guys are using is in fact 
proprietary, yes? If so, does it use the existing db output directives?

cheers,
