X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Multiple News servers as one server? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have been pondering as to whether a cluster of FreeBSD boxen would be able to run INN (or whatever other FreeBSD news server) and be effective. I would assume that all the machines would have enough hard drive space for a single server, but RAM might have to be capped at 256M. Any thoughts? I have seen the Metacomputing site that was posted sometime back and this has got me thinking: My ISP wants a fast news server, and they don't want to run Solaris. They have plenty of PC-based multi-PII systems. I'm 18 and could sure use a job... -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
