Yes. Actually this idea occurred to me just moments ago and our mails
crossed each other.

What would you recommend?  Setting up separate databases might not
avoid the problem entirely; ViewMTN would still get the same problem
while syncing the two databases.  OTOH, since traffic is low, I tend
to think the best would be that ViewMTN detect the condition and
report it to the user in a meaningful way.  Is that difficult to
implement?

Thanks for ViewMTN, BTW.  I've been using it for years with very few
problems so far.
