Done some investigation into it but no code yet. Func would imply some
changes, would need fully resolvable hostnames for SSL to work, and
would require clients to have ports listening for connections from the
master. Not necessarily bad things just have to consider if they're ok
for most users. Personally I'd quite like to switch from the jabber
approach to func.

Also if you're on EL5, you may want to try the 2.2.8 jabberd packages
in epel testing, they might get you past the db/sqlite issue you had,
though if you've got it working may as well leave it. :)

Cheers,

Devan
