I'm less concerned that benchmarks Plenty. Netbench is notorious for not actually testing the load balancing abilities or performance degradation curve as the number of users increases, both important factors in "real life" testing. Unfortunately, real-life testing is not easily quantified and so we have netbench instead. Until somebody writes something better, that will be the benchmark to jury-rig your responses for in order to come out ahead on benchmark tests. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
