How many connections do you need? If memory serves, the master db behind Slashdot was handling around 700 connections on a 4 processor P3 Xeon with 4GB RAM. But it's been a while since I've talked with Brian about it. > I need to build MySQL 3.23 on a production server running RedHat > 7.2, patched glibc (2.2.5-42) and a custom kernel (2.4.19-2 > SMP).

I'd say more on this topic, but I've not really needed to push MySQL in that direction. We tend to use more boxes that cost less and replicate data. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
