I know this doesn't solve your problem but have you looked at the highwind products (Typhoon and Cyclone/Breeze)? See http://bcandid.com/products/index.html Although I haven't run a news server for a while now, when I did, these products saved us literally hundreds if not thousands of dollars of hardware. We went from a load average of 10+ on a $10,000 Sparc to <.1 on the same hardware switching from INN to cyclone. It looks like INN has implemented some of the functionality which make these products sooooo fast, but it might still be worth a look. FWIW, the box "average uptime" also went from typically a day or so with INN to weeks or months with cyclone. The OS would croak about once a day with INN, quite frequently requiring a manual fsck -y. - Forrest W.
