It will take many years to get there (I'm no where near), trust me ;-)

If you understand referrals you will be able to answer this yourself. Anyway,
referrals "refer" a client to the Provider if it is trying to write a consumer
that doesn't accept writes, think of it as "Go speak to the boss".

Build it how you like, it's best to build from source to start with to get
a feel for everything. Then depending on how you company works you can move
to a commercially supported version. I would never recommend the RHEL version, but
