We have many customers running *lots* of NAS's, so I don't think this is
related to request load. Rather, I would suspect your backend database
connectivity. I have enclosed a note from the Radiator FAQ:
(http://www.open.com.au/radiator/faq.html#13)
5.Use the DBD-FreeTDS module from
ftp://freetds.internetcds.com/pub/freetds_dbd/ which can talk to Sybase, MS-SQL
6.5 and 7.0 without the need for any proprietary client
libraries. We have found that revision DBD-FreeTDS-0.02 did not work properly,
but the later snapshots work fine. This is a very quick and easy solution for
getting from Unix to MS-SQL or Sybase on any platform.
Note the reference to DBD-FreeTDS-0.02 specifically.
You can also check what is going on by running Radiator with a trace level 4
and checking the log file (or console output if run interactively).
