	OK, sent under different cover.

	Yeah, I'm kind of curious myself. BTW, I was going to work on this some
more today, but the boss thought that putting the box into production was
more important. The good news is that under real world load my freebsd box
had 20-40% free cpu and a load average of 1.5. With load as equal as the
switch could make it, the linux box had no free cpu and a load average of
8. :) I also (finally) got the approval to install freebsd on the fourth
box (there are already two linux machines up) so A) I'm making progress in
the office, and B) I should have a chance to pound on the syslog stuff
tomorrow. 

Happy,

Doug
