Hi. Sorry to jump in this thread late. But it looks like your upstream fried your DNS entries. I'ld strongly recommend you update your InterNIC records to point to DNS servers that *you* control, not anyone else. Because as you just found out, when DNS screwups occur, they take a lot of stuff wi

Hola. What is the official name of the type of connection that the common network protocols use? It lives somewhere above the tcp layer and below the app layer but is so obscure that I can't find it. e.g. Telnet, ftp, http, etc. all establish an x type connection and then transmit their dat

Ok, ok, I'm late as hell but I had to reply. :) You don't need SCSI unless you're doing something fancy or insane. Giving Apache more RAM is *vastly* better than giving it SCSI. The RAM lets you cache everything so the hard disk becomes not very important for I/O. Max out your motherboard's RAM

Sounds like the 2nd NIC isn't fully turned on. Is everything the way it should be in ifconfig? Have you tried binding any other daemons to the 2nd NIC? I also think you'll need ip based vhosts in Apache to make it listen to a 2nd NIC. The second NIC should be on a different subnet, otherwise ha
