Oh yes, I think I didn't understand you answer.. but now all became 
clear in my mind. I'm afraid that using this solution maybe cause an 
increase on storage processor load, because for every request the script 
must be executed. I already have some issues with server availability, 
and perhaps the solution of a problem becomes the worsening of another.

Still thanks for the reply and thanks for helping to clear my mind.
