Thanks for the suggestion. We run Gigabit Ethernet with one adapter for dedicated SAN and the other adapter for Service traffic such as web. The performance issue started when I upgraded the Gentoo build and applied AUFS. The network load is about the same post upgrade and is well within the limits of 100 Mbit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
