I have been asked to come up with an automated way of producing web pages. Specifically, this is for mrtg but it really doesn't matter. The idea is that there are many pages which are identical except for different names and a couple of other items such as whether the page represents a system

done using ifconfig_em0_name=ext0 in rc.conf. I find I have to give the ext0 interface an IP address in order for routing and packet filtering to work on the attached VLANs. You have to set up IP address to vlans, not main interface. It's the way vlan's work. Having 2 vlan's is like having

Long ago in 2007, I saw a M$ article that describes that Vista has an extremely short delay period to get an IP. If it doesn't get it within 1 second, it gives up (and maybe tries again). Common DHCP servers ping an IP address, wait 1 second for a reply, and if no reply, assumes the IP is

The only thing that strikes me as odd is that right-clicking on My Computer reports the amount of RAM as 768 MB, while the diagnostics above states 1024 MB. For the brief period of time the FreeBSD installer runs, it reports the amount of RAM as 768 MB too. Don't you have shared-memory

Mike The only way to be sure is to test it , I've read at 7.2 it has reached stability. As long as there is no recovery tool for ZFS it cannot be treated safe. In SUNs theory it just can't fail - which is nonsense unless machines are perfect and you'll never experience hardware problems.
