The hardware is listed there. I'm typing up the results that I mentioned in my previous message right now (demand vs. pre-forking NCSA httpd 1.4). The upshot is that you can serve half a million requests a day with a load average of less than 1 with a $2000 machine. You need to recompile your kernel with more mbufs, but that's covered in the report. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
