This is where having one or more systems for development is key. Installations like yours are in a far better situation to test FreeBSD under realistic loads than are all but a few of the FreeBSD developers. I would urge testing long before the leadup to a .0 release, not afterwards. Apologies if I'm just repeating myself here, but FreeBSD does not have a dedicated QA department. We are reliant on our users to test in real- world conditions. mcl
