Let's just eliminate one thing here: this server is running a 64-bit OS, isn't it? Because if it's a 32-bit OS, the blunt answer is "You can't, no matter how much physical memory you have" and you're going to have to go down the database route (or some approach which stores the mapping on disk and only loads items into memory on demand). -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
