We're running dual P5 200's and dual P6 400's. Other than the CPU's, both setups are almost identical (Super Micro mb, WD Enterprise UW2 drives, Exabyte SCSI TBU, 2x128MB DIMMs, 3Com 100MB, Matrox Millenium). We're currently supporting ~10,000 users. We distribute DNS, mail, radius, ftp and http tasks across these boxes on a 24x7 basis. -mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
