This is not meant as a flame-inducer, but there's really no other way to phrase it: This IS NOT what "production-ready" means to the rest of us, particularly those of us in the server world. A single developer running such code on their workstation for a few months is in no way identical to that of a heavily I/O-bound server. I thought freebsd.org (or maybe ISC?) offered some test/development boxes on the 'net available to developers who could test such code + perform stress tests over long periods of time? I'm probably mistaken, but I was under that impression. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
