Wow. That's impressive. Thanks for sharing that! Especially the specifics of your FreeBSD setup. It helps in deciding what to try first.

You mentioned heavily loaded servers...are you talking about the number and type of services running on them, or how heavy the traffic is? Or maybe their load averages?

Your server setup sounds sweet! How much of an onslaught are your FreeBSD servers able to stand up to (might need to mention hardware specs of the server to make it meaningful, I guess)? By onslaught, I'm thinking of something like getting slammed with a "Slashdotting" or digg-type peak of server request all at once.

Thanks again! FreeBSD sure sounds n--i--c--e to my geeky heart...
