Thanks for that Robert - it's very encouraging. I don't have much traffic at all, so running in a vkernel might be a good idea, except I've never found an explanation of what a vkernel is that I could understand. Is it similar to running a KVM guest under Linux? (actually, I shall try the whole thing out running DragonFly as a KVM guest on my development machine first, prior to converting the webserver from Linux to DragonFly).
