Hi,
I'm planning on using FreeBSD 8.0 x64 RELEASE edition for a small
primary/secondary DNS server setup.
The system will run Bind9 and have some zone files and views for the few

For our GSLB DNS Slaves, we boot embedded/low power (or even VMs these

mentioned for other high write
MFS == memory filesystem; aka ram-disk. The problem being that on reboot,
