It's been a while since I ran tests, but a P166 should be able to handle something like 300K hits/hour. You'll run out of network before you run out of cpu unless you've got a T3. To answer your question though, that works out to 1440 "small websites". My tests weren't done with with virtual servers and ip aliasing though, and I don't know how those affect performance when you start talking about a thousand of them though. -- Alan Batie ______ It's not my fault!
