Typical application / service deployment across these architectures includes: PKI, directory services, e-mail & integrated messaging, VoIP, e-commerce solutions, video delivery, etc. We use FreeBSD extensively both to host our own tools, and as a platform for customer solutions [intrusion detection, central logging, proxy servers, and other fundamental network services such as DNS & Mail] We also have a proxy product which is sold as a service to the education industry. The proxy provides blocking and filtering capabilities for http/ftp/nntp/[soon]SMTP traffic, allowing access to undesirable content on the 'Net to be prohibited. The typical customer is a Provincial, State, or regional Education Department, though we have provided the service to individual schools and campuses, where the deployment of a desktop client-based product [i.e. Net Nanny] would be both economically and administratively infeasible. Though the proxy can be hosted on any UNIX platform [or even NT], we typically provide a FreeBSD based solution; we have found this to yield the best cost / performance. viz. we have a customer who uses four Pentium-Pro 200/256 boxes running our proxy on FreeBSD 3.0 to serve in excess of 20,000 seats. These four boxes process over 1 million http transaction alone per day. At any given time, each of the proxy servers is running between 150 - 250 proxy processes [they are capable of a peak load of ~1K proxy processes each]. For this customer, two servers are quite capable of handling all traffic; the load has been distributed over four servers due to bandwidth limitations in the network [each box rarely breaks a load level of 0.5]. I hope that this helps. Roy > -----Original Message----- > From: Jordan K.
