I would like to know your opinion about 5.3-STABLE for this
pourpose. I googled some and found that it isn't good idea but all
those opinions was pretty old (related for ex. to older BETA version
of 5.X branch)
 

At this moment I think that when setting up a new box (fresh install) 5 
will just do fine, in my case however I have a couple boxes already 
using 4.10, in that case I will not upgrade to 5 but instead to 4.11, 
actually I use RELENG_4 and rebuild everything (when appropriate, 
depends on SA) on a build/test machine and then install it on the 
production machines. So it depends a bit on your taste, someday I have 
to upgrade my machines too, because SA will no longer be patched in the 
4 tree (not in the near future though).
Till then I have time to decide if I go with 5 or something else like 
DragonFly, it all depends if I feel comfortable with that OS and even 
more important is it a good enough solution for my technical problems/needs.

Re: Alright you primitive screwheads, LISTEN UP!!

John  

Well with my last name it doesn't even matter in what country/language 
you are... 
However I must say (otherwise I would not write to the list anyway) that 
I can imagine that it gets frustrating when people are begging for your 
help but don't have the politeness to address you correctly. Post 
ponding it ten years, hell yes I would definitely at least express my 
frustration.

Sure there are people having much bigger problem then that (I even knew 
people who didn't have a official name).
But I seem to fail to see the logic that somebody else's big problem 
makes an total unrelated other persons problem less annoying, 
perspective is a nice thing but doesn't usually solve the root if the 
problem.

Of course Bill expressed himself in his usual writing style which always 
make me (at least) smile, don't know though if that is intentional or 
that  I have a freaking sense of humor (being born German I don't rule 
that out).

However in defense I also must say that Paul is not a bad name, I even 
got it in my middle!
Concluding, if Bill wants to be called Bill, what is the problem with that?
He is not demanding that the next new discovered planet is named after him.
His post has lighten up my day (middle in the night just before getting 
to bed you bastard!) and even got me to reply on someone saying he 
should take it more easy.

So I  and move along.

Re: routing question

Hello all,
 I have a situation where I have my FreeBSD box that I want to run 2
Unreal IRCD's on both using port 6667.  I've set up virtual IP
addressing and one IRCD will run on 192.168.1.5:6667 and the other one
will run on 192.168.1.7:6667.  my problem is how would I go about
routing the traffic into the machine so both the IRCD's can be used by
different people using just a linksys router (I don't think it's
possible, but I thought I bounce it off you guys.

  
Only if there on your own private subnet, otherwise you must have 
multiple public IP addresses and (nat)forward them to the private ones 
accordingly.
If you have only 1 public IP adress you could use multiple ports on the 
public IP and mapped them back to the right IP & ports, say (public 
IP):6667 -> 192.168.1.7:6667 and (public IP):6668 -> 192.168.1.7:6667 
however with this option you could have saved your hassle to create a 
alias and just used the 6668 port for your other daemon on 192.168.1.5

I need to change the IP address of my FreeBSD box, it is also our Name
Server.  

I am aware that I need to change the following;
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/namedb/mydomain.com
Is there anything else that needs to be changed?
 

Perhaps /etc/hosts, but that depends on your configuration.
