AOLserver used to have this capability. Then the AOL team ripped it out during the 3.0 rewrite, I believe, because they don't need it. Thus Jerry's work to put it back in.
The good news is that the feature's been put back into AOLserver 4.0, which is currently in beta. The beta has a couple of bugs that break OpenACS but the current CVS tip looks good. In fact our own Jeff Davis is going to be testing it in the next week or so to verify that 4.6 works with it.
You can then expect an AOLserver 4.0 final release in a few weeks, maybe the end of this month.
