I am setting up an ftp site that will limit access to a few anonymous users at a time but most likely there will be hundreds or possibly thousands of people trying to connect at once. I am aware of performance bottlenecks with regard to the connected and downloading users, but I am not sure about the impact of the users attempting to connect and being denied. I assume that the system performance will be affected by any logging. Questions: Is there any other CPU drain from these attempted logins? Will available bandwidth be affected by continious attempts to login, say 2000 users each trying to connect every 30 seconds? Is there any other performance limiting or draining issues that I haven't thought of? tia, -db
