From what you mention it sounds like a bad idea as the system disk

You can skip swap altogether and use MFS (memory filesystem) like
Brian mentioned for other high write partitions that don't need to be
persistent (/tmp, /var/log). See the following article on the
freebsd.org website about using solid state storage:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/solid-state/article.html
Keep in mind though that Brian's setup was for slave nameservers that
would be caching from another master. If your nameserver is acting as
master, you'll be storing your records on flash since you need
persistent storage, but I don't imagine those files will be write
intensive.
Also, if you make /var/log MFS, you'll want to have an external syslog
server set up ;)
Thanks a lot so it should be ok then! :-)
Yeah sounds like a good setup, and also a syslog server :-)))) this is
exactly what I need in order to check my IOS logs coming from my Cisco
boxes. I had previously imagined it to be a simple tftpboot server but
sounds like it's standalone.
That's cool! I mean I really like having logwatch mailing me all
necessary information anyway so that coupled with a syslog server should
be pretty good :-)
Nice ideas need to do some Google'ing now as I don't know what MFS is
yet but I will.... :-D
Cheers and best regards,
Kaya
