OpenBSD does a good job with web serving. I have two Sun Blades that run openbsd/sparc64. But do you really think it matches up with FreeBSD? I know my router will be openbsd (that's a given), but I'm sure how well OpenBSD performs under many threads. I guess it comes down to how much RAM you have

Hey guys, This is a very general question, but I'm sure not exactly sure how to proceed. I'll be getting a lot of hardware soon to be clustered and I was wondering what was your take on the setup. My setup was going to be: 1 OpenBSD Router running 4.5 routing to a subnet of 13 nodes running Free
