Not really. You'll want to use the 256 maxusers option at least, then monitor your system to see how it flies. Use FreeBSD 4.0-Stable, which already has SOMAXCONN defined much higher than 32, and does not need the *_MAX options. Just make sure that you set everything to "unlimited" in /etc/login.conf. Also, use SOFTUPDATES, and look through LINT to see if there are any performance options that apply to your system. But don't just apply them blindly, test and make sure that they give you a benefit. Other than that, the system you get with 4.0 is the product of years of tuning that has taken place since that document was written. Apache + FreeBSD is one of the most popular combinations of web serving platforms in use on the internet today, so you will be in good company. Doug -- Excess on occasion is exhilarating.
