I have a Web server, I'm T1 connected, and I run FreeBSD. :-) On the other hand, the box was spec'd out to handle a low to moderate level of traffic, and I contend that it would be easy to take it out with some foolish stunt as described above. Unfortunately the general horny public does not care whether _you_ advertise it or someone _else_ advertises it - they'll melt your box anyways. Me, I'm still waiting for it to happen, but I find consolation in the fact that when it happens, it won't kill any of my other services. ... JG
