Do you allready have a problem with bandwidth usage? Many times I see people throwing Time/Effort/Money at something that they percieve _may_, _could_be_ , _If the moon is full_ , and I hold my tounge just right, problem. Or, they are not familiar enough with what the operating system is already designed to do. If you are currently experiancing this problem, it may be worth some time and energy. If you just think it might be, or want to be able to micro manage the way FreeBSD works, it might be better to trust the developers of the kernel. They have spent a lot of time, effort, and energy to make this funny little thing called Unix, FreeBSD, etc. do networking and multitasking, bandwidth utilization, etc. *VERY WELL*. I only say this because I have had a number of clients go from other O/S's, and are used to crappy performance due to one machine or system hogging all the resourses. Get them set up right, and it just humms along, working perfectly. A properly tuned out of the box FreeBSD system can really shine, without a lot of hacking. Kudo's to the Core Team. Blaine
