But you could use Mirror to copy one drive to the other. Just buy a couple of fairly high end server PC's and you'd be set. Now if you're concerened about load sharing I'd simply set half the pages on one machine and the rest on the other. Limit users A-L to #1 and M-Z on the other. Of course I could be misunderstanding you, in which case please ignore me. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
