We have a Free-BSD server that seems to keep rebooting on some panic exit
error.

This machine is a webserver that is receiving a massive amount of traffic.

Just before it usually dies it stops running cgi processes , returning an
'internal server error' response.  I usually have gone in a set the 'limit
maxproc 256' from the default 64 and it helps for a short time.  The
machine still dies no matter what I do after about 2 hours of the load.  I
have even gone to the extreme of running a cron every 30 minutes to restart
the apache server and kick all current connections.  This does not help
either.  There must be something I can config to allow more users on the
system than the default config.

What should I change or configure in the kernel, and or any other location
to increase the performance of the machine and allow the maximum possible
internet connections as possible.

I also run 5 RedHat server that do not have this problem and run at an even
higher load than the Free-BSD machine with less RAM.

My Free-BSD is a Pentium II 300 with 256 MB ram .


I would be greatful for any help.
