It is shared.

Integrum knows what they are doing and has it setup how they like.  The
crack into the PLUG site did not compromise the system overall.  It caused
a denial of service problem and so they cut the site off to stem the root
issue quickly.  They did the right thing.

I'll be talking to them today to get the site up, minus the calendar, for
now.  We are then looking at different and better solutions that will
allow PLUG more control and better isolation from Integrum's other stuff.
