I just spoke a few minutes ago to the marketing director at Netscape
Communications, and, as they had originally estimated, it will probably be
April before the mechanism exists to do this with the NetSite Commerce
Server (which is now shipping).

The NetSite server is apparently robust: they receive 750,000 HTTP requests
per day at home.mcom.com, which is a single machine running NetSite.
