Sorry to hi-jack, just wanted to say thank you to everyone getting involved
on this ticket, and OP for raising this.

The requirements that OP specified are almost exactly the same as what we
are doing, and this item was next in my list to figure out.

Once the thread is finished, we should definitely get it put into a
cookbook page on the wiki!
