Paul Vixie is the author of cron, and maintains bind and other software for the ISC, including a concurrent resolver library that has yet to be pulled into FreeBSD (we really, really need to get the resolver code *out* of libc, and *into* "libresolv", BTW). Paul also runs one of the top level nameservers for the Internet, and manufactures a product called "The Interceptor" based on NetBSD, with modifications (e.g., the real fix for the FIN_WAIT_2 TCP/IP protocol bug). He also employs SEF (Sean Eric Fagin). > > Now what is most suprizing to me is at > > http://bakeoff.ircache.net/bakeoff-01/polyteam-pics/ (warning LARGE) > > 3rd picture up from the bottom has a caption that reads "Glenn and > > Alex loading FreeBSD on the Novell cluster." > > > > So, Novell is using FreeBSD for their Caching Solution....?? > > > I think they meant that they were loading the "polygraph" program, I.E. > the stress-test client, onto the cluster. _That's_ what is hosted on > FreeBSD. Yes. It's a client cluster that they threw at each vendor's cache soloution.
