So what if you took a couple of these motherboards that support 1GB of memory, booted picoBSD on them, copied your web partition from a reliable source (some sort of raid) to an MFS, copied your MySQL databases to another MFS (possibly the same), and then used the reverse proxy patched Apache http://www.webtechniques.com/features/1998/05/engelschall/engelschall.shtml to distribute the load between the two (or more. Of course the reverse proxy could be a smaller system, running picoBSD. No disk drives. Transparent redundancy. This looks to work nice for serving static (database) content, but I don't see an elegant way to commit dynamic database content back to the RAID. Any ideas? This has got possibilities for "Beowulf" style clusters too. Russell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
