I've upgraded a bit by now but mainly just because rather than to solve any particular issue. Without knowing more about the traffic to be put across the machine, about the only real answer is: Try it and see what happens. -- --Jon Radel jon@radel.com [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 01 0 + 0 *H 100\ ^ Xq0 *H 0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA0 090225041326Z 100225041326Z0^10 URadel10U* Jon Thomas10UJon Thomas Radel1 0 *H jon@radel.com0"0 *H 0 O箩js;:|+\&W4f McjDX&̡ 4g;}we62xrqF?6K#zjdf~pC.l5ծ>f%!T`O\BIe Gv $l\9BbkOBHnKl-q; MlL (ٕ ,OJ%g Cqb!?hض2 y *0(0U 0 jon@radel.com0 U 0 0 *H SWW ƳN&⼮i#E[%Ҟ';uT}|m}^yըO-ʧ}BY p#tc Su Bj8+G$bC4g/qi 77Stڄկ<`SNfT00\ ^ Xq0 *H 0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA0 090225041326Z 100225041326Z0^10 URadel10U* Jon Thomas10UJon Thomas Radel1 0 *H jon@radel.com0"0 *H 0 O箩js;:|+\&W4f McjDX&̡ 4g;}we62xrqF?6K#zjdf~pC.l5ծ>f%!T`O\BIe Gv $l\9BbkOBHnKl-q; MlL (ٕ ,OJ%g Cqb!?hض2 y *0(0U 0 jon@radel.com0 U 0 0 *H SWW ƳN&⼮i#E[%Ҟ';uT}|m}^yըO-ʧ}BY p#tc Su Bj8+G$bC4g/qi 77Stڄկ<`SNfT0?0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 030717000000Z 130716235959Z0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA00 *H 0 Ħ<UsUNʙZ hup [v :aQP 0cZ,p+Z?qV˯< 6$*+w=+>@dקe*TH<a@ dr` 00U 0 0CU <0:08642http://crl.thawte.com/ThawtePersonalFreemailCA.crl0 U 0)U "0 0 10UPrivateLabel2-1380 *H HP . fgCL!6 -6/ P p<ab:~ t%Pb'qW%ݩ9 Oe_N4[5MwV!x!5$ F]_eO1d0`0v0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA ^ Xq0 + 0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 090514011603Z0# *H 1 1/UkCUr\ȡJ0R *H 1E0C0 *H 0*H 0 *H @0+0 *H (0 +71x0v0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA ^ Xq0 *H 1xv0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA ^ Xq0 *H a;Rǯ&FK ,hH69EGv:x" Dlεv Pr =IO!n|T/D_&&qa=E E7DƩø#d2Ԡyy| 2Xؙ vb#O U~` S{{ TۈW`,iAght j <,r:CZA>ZAp0U$ bN k SLs<$k 8t:
