We are still trying to track down the problem, but so far to temporarily the kill the sucker, we did the following: -Sendmail died, because the load went over 12.##. -/usr/local/apache/bin/ -./apachectl retart That taimed it down for the time being. Then another FreeBSD server, we had an httpd process hoovering around 97% while looking at a "top". Did the same as above and that slowed things down to near normal. > As for you, are you doing anything funny with your webserver? Not out of the ordinary. Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.1, mySQL 3.23.51...(or close) Well things have settled down, but I would really like to track down the problem. Thank you.
