I'm in the same boat. I've had mixed results with 5.3. I advise you to
test it out for your needs. If your hardware and apps play well together,
go for it. As a web, mysql and samba server, I've had no problems.
As an IDS running snort, I've had problems with the nge driver. I need
these NICs for monitoring gigabit links. Simply "uping" the interface
caused FreeBSD to panic. I posted here and opened a problem report, but
got no replies. FWIW, I never saw a kernel panic until I used 5.3, but I
do acknowledge that the technology added is new and results may very.
Thanks for pointing that out. In fact, *one* of the servers *will* be
running snort. I'm not sure what our NICs are, though. I believe they're
Intel, but I'll have to check.
