because I ran netstat(8) all along, and it had more traffic from SSH than from HTTP :-) The Slash-Dot effect is only real when people put a lot of graphics on their page or if the page is served out of a content-managlement-system which must lookup everything in a database. For a "plain HTML in a single file" page like this one, the slash-dot effect is non-existent. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
