Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We run FreeBSD almost exclusively here and we have divided into two camps of thought. We're running all the standard services that every other ISP runs; DNS, SMTP/pop3, webserver, SSL webserver, shell server, radius and probably a few others that aren't popping into my head. Basically, we are divided here. Some people think that we should maintain a machine for DNS, a separate Radius server, a separate mail server...yadda yadda yadda. The other group says we should consolidate and throw DNS/Radius on one machine and work towards consolidating everything towards a few core machines. Obviously we'd have to watch the loads and not throw our large mail server and a large webserver together. And allowing shell accounts on the primary webserver or radius server seems a little risky. Can you all give me your input. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
