> 1. What applications are you using with the z/VM SSL server? The telnet server, and FTP. We were using it with the SMTP and HTTP servers, but the connection limit is too quickly exhausted due to the large number of spammers and other idiots probing the system. > 2. What is the maximum number of concurrent sessions you currently use? About 250 sessions sustained when heavy testing is going on. With SMTP enabled, the number was well over 3500/hr, 500-600 sustained. > 3. What is the maximum number you expect to be using in 2 years? Every connection in or out of the system. Could easily be in the thousands if we turn SMTP/HTTP back on. If you'd like to talk about the design, I'd be very interested in having that conversation here or off-list. -- db
