I am researching methods of improving network reliability, taking into account my current network and all its dependencies. I am pretty certain that I can accomplish this by dedicating a private network to NFS, then having multiple redundant servers for our several services (smtp, http, etc.). This, however comes at a performance cost.... even on our 100BT net, NFS is just not performing fast enough. I would think that Gigabit would be the answer... having a gigabit "back plane" for NFS traffic and letting 100 baseT handle the rest. Considering that I have a mix of FreeBSD-3.3 and FreeBSD-4.x machines, I need to pick your collective brains about good, compatible hardware, experiences with Gigabit switches, or any other ideas you may have on this.
