Re: [SLUG] Internet Gateway/Router

I have attached a basic diagram on what I would like to achieve, As you will see from diagram, I have used false IPs. Essentially, what I would like to do is have the following ports from the internal network go SMTP (25) eth1 FTP (21) eth2 HTTP (80) eth3 VPN (5000) eth4 And similar if you are on the internet, I want to open port 25 (SMTP) on all the internet connections and have that forwarded to one Internal IP Address, and open port 80 (http) on eth3, and open port 5000 (VPN) on eth4. eth2 is purely for Staff to use FTP in or Out. So Basically, the questions are 1. Is it possible? 2. If Possible, What software should I be using? And is it hard? 3. If its hard, can someone out there do it, and I pay you for it? Yes, it is possible. It does however sound like QOS (with a little iptables help) on a single connection may be more appropriate. With quality of service you can ensure certain protocols get a specified share of the available bandwidth and also ensure that any spare bandwidth is also available to be used by anyone who needs it. Your suggested setup could see the eth4 modem choked by vpn connections whilst the other three connections sit idle.

What I want is to see portion of code that takes up the most CPU usage that I see from running top. For scripts that runs via browser how do I check such performace criteria ? Do I add this in the top line of the .pl script ? #!/usr/bin/perl -d:DProf I read the Dprofpp options, and I cannot see a switch that tells me the CPU usage for each sub routine. This seems to work with speed only. Is there another module for CPU usage instead of time in secs ? Thanks. Louis. -- I'm always learning something new everyday.

Re: [SLUG] Perl and Performance !
Hi Scott: I don't understand what you mean, top shows you what process is taking most of the CPU time, not which piece of code is. Yes that's correct, and was noticeable from a script I wrote. So I need to go beyond and see which portion of the code appears to consume the most CPU time ( as u put it below) which I presume is directly proportional to the CPU % I see from top. Knowing that will then allow me to see how it can be improved to reduce CPU % . I'm not sure if it's overheads when calling 'use package' or loops, arrays, sql processing etc.. causing the unnecessary CPU usage. Just want to see if I can improve it. The above url you mentioned looks like it will give you what you want. The time is not actually seconds taken from execution to completion (Although it looks like it has that as well) it is cpu time it has taken to execute.

I believe the cpu time is user + sys time. real is the actual time it took to run from execute to completion. Thanks for the info. I'm yet to try this module to see if I can get it to work. I'll see how I go. I do have another question. When multiple browser sessions on a script is called, does the web server control the servicing of these processes. i.e does it place them on a queue and wait until resource is available to run the process, if CPU or memory usage is high. If not how can I control these processes for browser based script ? I'm thinking along the lines if CPU is say at x% then hold the incoming processes for that script in a queue. Once CPU goes below x% then process the next one in the queue etc ... Does Perl have this kind of support or I don't really have to worry about this for browser based session scripts ?

Very logical and very safe. Highly recommended.
Just note the mounting specs and anything else you need to know.
Install new HDA, install Operating system, mount HDB.
Refer to old-HDA (mounted as HDB/C/D) if you run into problems along the
way.

I'm sure that's not what you mean though.
Acutally it is what I wanted for the G3. Now that I know that OSXV9 is
not multi-homed, I understand what and how to set this up. Ideas will be
tested soon.
If you want to connect to your linux boxen:
finder/Go/connect-to-server
I type in the ip number of the appropriate box. I think you can
be much more sophisticated than that, but it works fine for me.
The problem now is enabling the G5 G4 (OSXV10) to be able to write to
the samba shares. I have no problem reading the samba shares from the G4
and a Win2K boxens. (Ignore G5 atm). The Win2k can write to any of the
shares.
Both authenticate by mounting the shares as linux users. This is enough
for the win2K boxen to be able to push stuff onto the samba shares.
However, the G4 can not do this. It can write to the users home
directory, but not the shares.
So I am after another clueby on what to look for to fix this.
extract from smb.conf if that helps.
