I suggest that you use the native jdk instead (which you can bootstrap build with the linux-sun-jdk). The linux-sun-jdk has various issues running correctly on FreeBSD; check the java-mailing archives. The native jdk removes the requirement of yet another layer of software to run (ie the linuxalator), and simplifies debugging.

That's just a fork bomb. Try looking at tuning(7) and login.conf(5) to
reduce the maxproc limit for users.

More likely something's wrong with your system? I tried out the fork

Let's say your authoritative server is listening on IP-A, and your
caching server is listening on IP-B; both ip-addresses are on the same
host. We can have a named instance listening on both addresses, with
multiple views like:
/*
Used by root .tld.
*/
view "authoritative"
{
match-destination
{
IP-A;
};
recursion no;
zone "my.authoritative.org"
{
type master;
...
};
}
/*
Use by our client requests.
*/
view "caching"
{
match-destination
{
IP-B;
};
recursion yes;
zone "my.authoritative.org"
{
type master;
...
};
}
The "match-destination" inspects the DNS address used by the client to
query to determine which view to use. Would this suit your purpose?

Heh. I was just thinking about going the other way. One of the main problems with the nVidia on X is that the xorg-nvidia driver is very basic; this can be demonstrated by going to a Javascript heavy page (eg http://www.xwiki.org) using firefox. The X-server just slows to crawl when trying to scroll the site. The behaviour is not exhibited with xorg-intel driver, as a counter-example. Support for the nVidia on FreeBSD from the vendor is also incomplete: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2006-June/016995.html The feature request from nVidia appears to have stalled for the time being (more correctly: I couldn't locate news on any updates to on the 'Net). In short, nVidia cards are usable, but performance can be exceptionally bad. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- "Only the meek get pinched.

I've got a nVidia card on a FreeBSD-7/amd64 system, and so the only driver I can use is the xorg-nvidia driver. The driver from the nVidia is not an option for me. If you have an i386 system, the driver from nVidia is *MUCH* faster than the xorg driver. Queries to nVidia about the possiblity of an amd64 compatibile driver led me to the kernel-feature list that they would like to have before being able to release a driver form amd64 hosts.

For your first java/jdk14 build you first need to have a linux-jdk14 installed, and active (ie linuxalator on, linprocfs mounted) to act as a bootstrap compiler. Once the native jdk14 has been built and installed, you can remove linux-jdk14 and its dependancies. Any further jdk14 builds will use the native jdk14 as its bootstrap compiler.
