I'm not sure there is much point in separating NFS from other traffic, since they typically travel in opposite directions. For example a file download will involve packets coming into a client from the router and back out to the NFS server. Your NICs are full-duplex so the two types of traffic shouldn't get in each-others way very much. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
