Only running named The basic question for this is how busy your domains are. It's probably not enough for a large ISP, but i think should do well for a not so large company.

The NE2000 is really sloooow (it doesn't provide shared memory). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
