we're using ldbm as backend instead - I don't feel safe with bdb - and I am prety happy with it - with quite some load on the server, no problems whatsover since I put it into production, and decent performance. this is on mainbus0 (root): SPARCengine(tm)Ultra(tm) AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) with 512M of memory (some Marathon sparc64, pretty decent thing), using openldap-server-2.2.23 from ports. > Some thing i really worried about is about storage server for home > directories (server 4).

What about a 10 Gb Ethernet Interface from looking at my NFS machines, not a single one of them is even remotely CPU bound. Get a decent motherboard with fast buses and the slowest/cheapest CPU you can get for it ;) RAM is not very important either, for RAID I'd go with LSI MegaRAID any time again, very happy with ami0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0 "Symbios Logic MegaRAID" rev 0x01: irq 10 LSI 520/64b/lhc ami0: FW 1L37, BIOS vG119, 64MB RAM ami0: 1 channels, 0 FC loops, 1 logical drives on cpu0: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+, 2014.44 MHz (this is not a NFS machine). I think the marketing name was MegaRAID 320-1, you might want something with more than one channel if you plan to connect more than a handfull of disks. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
