Am looking for the following from this list; 1) load both in CPU and bandwidth per user averages? 2) doable on FreeBSD (prefer not to run other OS just to facilitate this request)? 3) pitfalls, warnings, experiences, and so forth. This is not a high priority for the support team, but sales and marketing is looking at monthly revenue for this service going elsewhere and wondering the cost to provide similar services internally. Appreciate and constructive responses. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
