The reason for freebsd-questions is because when I looked thru isp, database, and performance, and few others, they had one or two threads a month with barely much input. I figured I would reach more people on this list. The reason why I didn't use freebsd-hackers is because I thought perhaps this was somewhat trivial, like I was overlooking something, but I guess not. Next time I'll just use that list instead. I think it would be my best bet. -Simon
