I've looked at the pg_index table and we are currently at 15Mill

get:

Note: Version 7.0 *will* eat your data eventually. It has no protection
against XID wraparound, you'll just start noticing data disappearing.

From the documentation:
Prior to PostgreSQL 7.2, the only defense against XID wraparound was to
re-initdb at least every 4 billion transactions.

This is a very kind way of saying you are completely nuts for running 7.0 anything. The minimum you should be running is 7.4 and preferably 8.2.4.
