Just grabbed a new Dell 4600 to replace an aging NFS server.  I'm done
with the 4.5-R install.  This box does NFS for our Dev and QA
environments, so often seens quite a bit of load.  I'll be doing SMP,
and was wondering,

	a) Would I be better off grabbing the latest security
		enhancements for 4.5, or just waiting for 4.6-R?
	b) Any NFS/SMP-specific kernel tuning? (Beside what's found
		on freebsd.org...)

I know there are a lot of NFS gurus around.  :)

Later,
-Mike
