  1. Re:Old PC + 4 channel raid controller = easy on Which RAID for a Personal Fileserver? · · Score: 1

    Amen for 3ware. Im using the newest 3ware 9500S-12 in our storage server. Very fast read, much faster writes than the older controllers. You can now choose what stripe size you want, and it supports hot swap, RAID50 (mirrored raid 5's), and hot spares. 3ware cards have saved my data from bad hard drives many times. Too bad there isnt a 3ware replacement for admins mistakes :)

  2. Re:isp's on 200mbps DSL On Its Way? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually that wont work, there is about a 10:1 download to upload ratio(very rough estimate from experance). If you download too fast you wont be able to [ACK] acknowledge all of your tcp packets and the connection will start ratelimiting itself. On a 200Mbps you absolutely have to have at least 10Mbps up with very large receive windows to see the anywhere near the max.

  5. Re:You really see which DNS does heavy lifting. on BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server · · Score: 2

    TinyDNS is popular with admins that have lots of domains because there is one configuration file for the domains, the default bind way sucks if you have any number of them, and I have domain entry scripted so it takes seconds to add a new domain. Not having to restart TinyDNS when your domain file is changes is a big plus too. I manage around 150 domains with the average of 3 per customer, hardly squatting.

    Um, no, the sender of the e-mail should not directly connect to your server (unless they run there own server), instead they send to the isp's smtp server. Its most likely that a non-spammer would never send an email to his server.

    The article stated that a good number of request came from behind NAT firewalls. Many devices like the linksys allow you to DMZ a host, which would end up being an attack vector behind your firewall. Also many people turn on port forwarding, done incorrectly, is an attack vector.
