Matthew,

First, be sure before setting up a system like this that UQSport is 
permitted "onsell" it's bandwidth to the co-located server. UQSport has 
(had?) a purchasing arrangement with the univerisity's Prentice centre, 
rather than being a fundamental part of the network :) Secondly, UQSport 
have certainly hired students for various IT jobs before. I worked on 
their Delphi student database system for a while after the inital authors 
left uni. When I was there the system administration its self was managed 
by a long-serving contractor, so you might find yourself in competition 
with the encumbant supplier. I did my best to convert him to linux at the 
time, and he seemed interested... but I suspect never went on to the 
implementation. The servers that were there seemed to be doing the jobs 
they were allocated well enough not to go fiddling with the setup too much 
and it was not my area of responsibility to make changes myself.

Benjamin.
