Well this is what I"m planning on doing.
I will have three machines...these machines will be on a gigabit
switch and all machines will have a gigabit card in them....
The mail server and web server will each have another nic card
pointing out to our t3.
In my mind I'm thinking this
1gb/s 45mb/s
nfs server <----------> web server <--------> internet
and
1gb/s 45mb/s
nfs server <---------->email server <---------> internet
I don't know what the average throughput of 1gb/s is but I"m thinking
the latency issue would be fixed?
Alan, what do you think?
Thanks Alot,
Brent Clements
