I have a freebsd based web server.  (http://www.chaski.com) running
apache and FreeBSD 2.10 from Walnut Creek.  I have changed nothing,
except building a custom kernel for the devices I have.  We are now
passing 3000 hits a day, and I was wondering if there was anything I 
should do with the config files.   


I have been happy with the performance so far...I just don't want to get
more traffic then I can handle and then panic.

I did see the apache page for tuning.

I do plan on trying to set maxusers to 256 in the kernel build
as well as CHILD_MAX=512 and OPEN_MAX=512.

I can't find where I change SOMAXCONN or NMBCLUSTERS.


I have a system based on 72 Meg of ram, 4 gig of disk space, scsi tape
scsi cdrom.   NE2000 network card.  Are these really that bad? 
Pentium 100 Mhz.


Thanks for any advice.
