Hello,

I help administer a FreeBSD machine that runs nat, dhcpd, mail and 
web servers for an organization with about 75 desktop clients.  They 
have a 256k fractional T1.  We have noticed the machine bogging down 
sometimes (people complaining of extremely slow web page loading, and 
when I ssh in, very slow response).  Top shows less than 1% of CPU 
being used.  This last time, it seems someone was ftp-ing a 100MB 
file, and when they terminated the transfer, everything was fast 
again.  Is there anyway to prevent one client or process from hogging 
all that bandwidth?

Joshua Holland.
