For just a private internal network, it would hardly notice the extra load. I assume you won't have thousands of machines coming in and out regularly, but only a few dozen at the most coming in a few times per day. No problem. Some of our sites have several hundred machines using DHCP, on a machine with web, DNS, majordomo, squid proxy, squirrel web based Email running. About the only thing that slows them down is spamassasin/procmail when lots of Email comes in. ////jerry > > thanks in advance, > Darryl > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
