You can remove leaf ports using pkg_cutleaves once everything is installed. You can even remove pkg_cutleaves with pkg_cutleaves if you don't want it anymore.

Re: NFS- SAN - FreeBSD
Grant, DAS = Direct-Attached Storage, sorry to be confusing. I cannot personally speak to the performance of FreeBSD's NFS, but I wouldn't expect it to be the bottleneck in the situation described. Maybe others with more experience could chime in on this topic. The way to use a DAS is to connect the DAS to a server with an external SAS cable (or two). The PERC6/E controller you would need inside the server is very well supported in FreeBSD. The DAS system would basically act the same as internal disks would act (in the case of the MD1000). Of course you'll want to check with Dell before you make any purchases to be positive that your hardware will all communicate nicely, as I'm no Dell salesperson. Depending on how large of an array you plan to make (if larger than 2TB) you may have to investigate gpart/gpt to partition correctly, but that's quite simple in my experience. Chris Grant Peel wrote: Chris, Thanks for the insight! I will defineately investigate that DAS ... although I am not (yet) sure what the acronym means, I am sure it is something akin to "Direct Access SCSI". You are quite right, I would like to use NFS to connect the device to the 6 servers I have, again, it would be only hosting the /home partition for each of them. Do you know if there would be any NFS I/O slowdowns using it in that fassion? Would freebsd support (on the storage device) that many connections? Also, do the Dell DAS machines run with FreeBSD? Also, from you you explained, I doubt I really need the versatility of the SAN at this point, or in the near future. I simply want a mass /home storage unit. -Grant - Original Message - From: "Christopher J.

Apache, Exim, vm-pop3d, Mysql, etc etc. Each local server is connected to the Inet via a VLAN (WAN), to our colo's switch. Each server contains about 300 domains, each domain has its own IP.

Does anybody know of these modules? The ipfw thing would limit bandwidth on the whole server unless I have a tun device, which I don't. I want it to be fast in the internal network, but not use too much of the speed serving to the internet. Thank you.

Limit Network Traffic APACHE 1.3
Hey peoples,
How can I limit Apache's use of network traffic? I want to limit
it to somewhere around 50 Kb/s because it's a small server on a cable
connection. Is that possible? If so, how can I get it done?
Thanks,
