Subject: HEAVY ftp server / BSDI

Hi,

	I was wondering if anyone is using WU-FTPD under HEAVY LOAD
conditions (1000 connections), and what kernel mods they needed to
make.  Under a server tuned for Web serving, it died at about 300
connections.  We've raised the KMEMSIZE to 16M (We only have 128M
in the current box, looking to buy a 1G machine) but wondered what
else we'll need to tweak.

	CDROM.COM uses its custom ftpd on a box like ours running
FreeBSD with over 3200 connections. We don't expect to hit that, but
somewhere in that area would be GREAT!

			Thanks, Tuc/TTSG
