Got it, validated that it works, thanks.

OK.  Not a lot of context for these TODOs, and I guess it's implied that 
all of these TODOs belong to you.  :)  For instance:

# Configure and connect to MySQL at Sun, install OFBiz schema

What's that connection for?  Backing up the MySQL db?  A hot standby?  A 
connection to data at Sun?  Is this something that anyone could help with?

# Configure front end cache servers at Sun

What kind of cache servers?  Is this something that anyone could help 
with?

# Configure Nutch search server at Sun

Ditto -- I think you see me working.  :)

Understand that my goal is not to add to your TODO list.  Rather, it is to 
build that TODO list in such a way that other folks can come help.
