I did indeed read that node before I posted my initial question, which is why I was careful to say, "But specific details of how to set this up (with examples for boneheaded neophyte me) were not forthcoming thereafter." -- your node set out ways to do it and things to avoid, but without examples. I also poked around in the site to which that node refers, likewise finding nothing quite like what I needed.

Rightly or wrongly, I learn better by example than by bald expositions of theory. Theory's great, but I need demonstration, it seems, to internalize the lesson.

Thanks to all who've replied. Now we'll see if I can talk the offsite admin into extrapolating from the replies (a thing that's been somewhat difficult).

Regards,
