Is it just me or does some of that story just sound a little to good to be true? 10 Mbit home connection on which he can just load 70-80 people's traffic onto for free? (I know he says he gets it for bartered services, but what is he doing that will get him this connection?) "* A web/mail/Usenet/IRC/bind 9.1 cluster running LVS (Linux Virtual Servers, www.lvs.org) on 5 rack 1U computers. I chose no-name rack units that have been sitting around idly in my lab. Each has 512 MB of RAM, 18-GB internal disk, and two NICs." - oh the horror of having 5 rack mount servers just sitting around. It might just be me, but I don't see this just happening. He's even saying electronics are expensive in Isreal, but a 10Mbit connection isn't? -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer>
