This server acts as a: 1) Radius Auth Server 2) Web Host (Apache) 3) Mail Host (Qpopper, SMTP) When our dial up service gets busy, qpopper and Apache tend to slow down noticably. I've checked things out with TOP and the CPU stays over 90% idle even during peak times. Would adding another NIC and moving mail to that interface help speed things up? I'm not real certain where the bottleneck lies. The console seems to run fine and disk activity isn't overabundant. Any ideas? We're running 10baseT at the moment but our collision rates don't seem high.
