Hi,
Some friends and I are trying out this weird idea, we have one
big disk/file/db server storing source and libraries, and it has
super-fast drives, but bottle-neck in 10mbps LAN interface. What's
worst, every now and then when someone does a big binary distribution
/release back to the server, all other access to source files (read
only in most cases) are getting unbearable NFS time-out!
Ok, all the machines are FreeBSD 2.1R, anyway. Now, we want to
dedicate a new interface and a separate `physical' segment for the
server for big binaries write access, but without having to use up
a different subnet (scarce). So, ideally, the new interface must
be on the same logical subnet as the existing one, but it is on a
different physical segment.
Is this doable ? We are looking at some possibility to dedicate
a 100Mbps segment for the heavy distribution process if this will
work, at least in theory. From memory there is no restriction on
physical interface and logical subnet. Please correct me if this is
not true.
