SelectManyShuttle with large leading list

[Martin Denham <mj...@gmail.com>]

Does SelectManyShuttle have any special mechanism for handling very
large leading lists?
 
We have 50,000 customers to select from in the leading list.  I think
this is probably too many.  
 
My initial plan was to have a filter and leading and trailing tables,
but the end result would look very similar to SelectManyShuttle (but not
as pretty).  The only differences are that when the filter changes I
will do a server side action to repopulate the leading list and
sometimes the trailing list items will not be in the current leading
list.

Yes, waaaay too many.  SelectManyShuttle has to load all of
the data up front.  You do not want to send 50000 rows of data
to the browser.

That would work;  you might also just use multiple selection on the table.
