I shoudl have noted, we are running Mdaemon as our mail server... :) We
run our session variable down to the database... which grows big in
access... an upcoming offline problem we will need to address...
our boxes have 256MB of RAM and 384MB respectively... dual processor
300 Mhz IBM 325 servers...combined they serve out about 1.5 million
pages per month currently... pages not hits.. We also run about 470
domains through these boxes... We have one robust site (pubcrawler.com)
all others for the most part are in a holding pattern
(www.areaindex.com)... We do have about 10 email accounts which also
go through the boxes to Mdaemon's own web interface...
As I said our outages are due to evil users mainly...looking at the
firwall solutions now... (unfortunately)...
Anyone else want to say how much activity is on their boxes and
comparisons??? Way interested in seeing other well used sites and
uptime info...
