I’m looking for anyone who can give me some advice or their hard-won
knowledge on setting up FreeBSD to be a high-performance FTP (or http)
fileserver. I am involved in a project where I will probably need to
serve between 1,000 to 20,000 files per day of about 18Mb to a variety
of users connected at speeds ranging from DSL to (mostly) 28.8 K. Most
of these users will download 3 files totaling 18MB (each 6 MB). So it's
not a lot of data, but the same data is getting pumped out to many,
many users. So that’s a daily traffic of 70-200GB transferred. Some of
the d/ls will be relatively fast over DSL, others slow. What is the
best way to set up FreeBSD to implement this? Just how much hardware do
I need? I don’t want to overbuild, but I do want this server as fast
and solid as possible. I will connect it to a T1 or better. Any
suggestions welcomed. I was thinking this was going to be
dual-processor system with a lot of RAM and to keep as much of the
dataset in RAM as possible. Other ideas??Is dual CPU a waste of time?
Kernel and config changes??? I am not a very experienced FreeBSD
expert, but I'm no idiot either. Has no one written an article about
this? They must have.
Please email responses to me directly as well as posting them here! I
