The machine will be a Web proxy. It'll have a system hard drive (containing the OS and swap) and then a second very large one to hold the cache. There's also a CD-ROM. Which devices should go on which interface for the best performance, and why? --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
