I very deliberately left it out, specifically to narrow the focus.  The
point of this thread is:

Multiple NAGs (including *NEW) are for complex environments.
Complex environments include:
  Shared ODP
  RETURN with LR off

I want people to get comfortable with how AGs factor into this simple
environment before introducing the more sophisticated uses.

That's what I mean by "baby steps."  I think that there are an overwhelming
number of iSeries installs that fit the limited criteria, so I decided to
start there.  And even if I'm wrong (imagine that!) starting from the
simplest model has to be good for something.

Once we exhaust the feedback on the simple scenario we can move ahead.  What
do you think?
