BK _is_ an http server. The same daemon you talk to for clones is the HTTP server. That's one and the same machine. > however keep in mind you will somehow throttle the number of syns too, > unless every single syn arrives to the webserver from a different user > (unlikely). That's exactly the situation that any busy server has. Which is why I kept saying "tell me how you made this work for a busy server". "Busy server" by definition in this context at least means a server that is getting lots of connection requests from lots of different users. Why that isn't obvious to you I don't understand. This is bkbits.net. Yeah, it's not slashdot or anything but there are something like 400 branches of the Linux kernel on it and that's ignoring all other projects. It's the web server which provides insight into the Linux kernel source base, of course it is busy. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
