Agreed .... I am with you on this ..... The problem is not solved as of
today

My proposed solutions do not fix the creds problem in certain probablisitic
cases. I agree. Infact my proposed solutions were half and incomplete. I did
not intend to propsoe them as full fledged solutions.

b/w could be clogged also.

However what I said there is immaterial - since jordyn pointed out something
I overlooked - which is there is genuine usage of the batch pool whch would
be required, so unless verisign gives us 3 pools my solution has an issue
there too
