Mike,

We will look into including the IPS CA root certs in our next
maintenance release.

We have a few IPS CA certs.  It's hard to argue with free for
College/Universities

One is on our main webmail site. (Outlook Web Access)

The only problem we've had reported is some Smartphones did not have the
trusted root certificate, and the owner did not know how to add
certificates.

We also have them on our VPN site, and have had no issues reported.

When we add the 3 new servers we're bringing online next month, they'll
be getting IPS CA certs.
