We ran into problems with Linux when we ran over about 125 virtual WWW servers on one machine because of Linux's static file limit of 255 files open. I just changed this limit and recompiled the Kernel and apache and things work perfectly. Are FreeBSD's file tables static like this or are they completely dynamic? Richard.
