Things I'd do: 1) Make sure the NIC has its own controller and isn't host-based. Do not waste host CPU doing network I/O if you can avoid it. 2) Make sure you use a seperate NIC to connect the server to the network that the database server lives on. In other words, physically seperate the client <-> webserver traffic from the webserver <-> database traffic. 3) Tweak the TCP timing settings in your kernel. High connection counts means lots of connection metadata being maintained by the kernel, so you want to tell the kernel to maintain that metadata for as short a time as possible to keep that metadata small. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
