[snip config/bench] Without a real idea of what's in the dedicated equipment it's hard to say. A couple things about your configuration really say "low-end" equipment, especially the NIC being used. There's also the possibility that if you're using NAT you're using NATd which because of the way it works (userland process that must double copy all packets) you're not getting the best performance from that as well. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] Ok, who wrote this damn function called '??'?
