I'm actually running yard with net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 this feature is not present in the release of FreeBSD I'm currently using (I've just received 2.2.7 last friday). In 6 month I can upgrade the machines not rebuild everything. If I start with 2.2.7 some feature are missing and I'll have a system I will have to rebuild later. this project will start slowly in october then reach a maximum in may FreeBSD will control: 2 minitel servers (old systems) (12000 connections/day in April-June) the access to a france-wide (teacher union) intranet. 3 firewalls + ip accounting 3 web/mail/news/ftp servers -- Didier Derny didier@omnix.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
