Just as a note regarding that load average and ESX. I've noticed that none of my FreeBSD VMs report a *true* load average on ESX. The CPU hardly ever spikes (particularly on some snort listeners) but ESX shows the VMs as being CPU-bound the better part of the day. You may want to take a look at what the ESX performance charts are showing during your heavy usage periods and particularly before things go pear-shaped. kmw
