The only difference was that they used 40 servers to achieve this, >while Walnut Creek used only one =:) The actual data rate out the fast ether averaged around 6.5MB/sec, peaking around 8.2MB/sec throughout the day. This is close enough to the limit of 100Mbps fast ethernet that we are looking into gigabit ethernet. If we can work out something with CRL and Cisco regarding this, you'll see another press release... :-) -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
