Are you saying I'm lying? *shrug* I had sustained traffic levels of that magnitude for *months* on that machine. It worked just fine. And 10mb ethernet is a lot faster than a 1.5mbit T1 (which the machine used to connect to the net). : Secondly, what're you doing that's generating 400,000 hits per day? The server was running a bunch of virtual web sites for commercial customers as well as personal web pages for roughly 100 folks.
