[brluglist] Speaking of SSL..

[cross-post of my reply to Dustin's cross-post to the Lafix list] We're doing SSL clustering here using Foundry ServerIrons. These have an option to make connections "sticky" which keeps a client hitting the same server during his session. SSL also works without it, but then the sessions have to b

[brluglist] homemade CAT 5

As long as you aren't planning to use the cable for another standard that may require all 4 pairs, then there's no problem, and since it's just a patch cable, no harm. I sometimes receive pre-made cables, such as pcmcia cards with dongles that only use those 4 pins. -Tim On Thu, 2001-11-08 at 09

[brluglist] Backup Tape Drive

One of the biggest rules of tape backups is to choose a drive that will be well-supported in the future. Consider this: you buy a clearance tape drive, and 100 brand-new blank tapes. One month after you buy your drive, the rest of them disappear from the market. You do perfectly great backups for t
