Good morning list, The company I work for has brought some web serving in-house. We now have a machine from a subcontractor that is running FreeBSD 4.11. It is a production web server responsible for generating data from the database and presenting it (in Zope, yuck.) I would like to create a firewall, add caching so that the web pages get served more quickly, and find out when the RAID disks are failing, right now I can tell when that happens because the database slows to a crawl. Does anyone have any advice? I am aware of excellent FreeBSD firewalling software which I will most likely use. I am also familiar with squid - is this my best be for caching web pages so that the site appears to load faster? I can see from dmesg.boot that the relevant RAID aparatus is a <COMPAQ RAID 1 VOLUME inte> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device, what would be the right software to monitor this volume? Obviously not vinum since I have been informed that it is a software RAID management system, not hardware management. Thank you very much, Jeremiah Foster
