I'm currently in a crazy mood, so I am going to do this. One reason that I am going to do this is that replacing pipes once I have the entire program written would be a real pain (interprocess communication is going to be used very heavily by nfreenetd). Another reason that I am going to do this is because IPC would probably be the only bottleneck for nfreenetd other than network bandwidth (which wouldn't be a problem if you have a big pipe or even merely SDSL). With big file downloads or inserts, the overhead from IPC would be relatively small, but with lots of small file downloads or inserts, the overhead from IPC would add up very quickly. -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
