    I would suggest going with the ethernet service as it will most likely behave how you would expect and desire for connecting two datacenters. lambda service may or may not require the purchase of...

    HT would probably be even worse, since the OS treats it in the same way as a true SMP system but it's actually just emulated. Until someone seriously revamps the SMP kernel code and NIC drivers, SMP...

    I'm not familiar with cPanel internals but couldn't you simply use AXFR/IXFR from the cPanel server to whomever you've outsourced to?
  4. Not on your part, you're the one asking questions...

    Not on your part, you're the one asking questions ;) A hardware solution can actually be slower, depending on traffic patterns, policy/ruleset, etc. a software firewall is usually infinitely more...

    every router, ever?

    using proper terminology would probably help prevent severe confusion here. the aforementioned "routed" mode is really just network address translation (NAT). depending on...

    you should read up on how DNS works. I'll give you a hint: "secondary name server"



    what?

    do you have an executive summary of some sorts on the technical/engineering aspects of "infrastructure sharing" ?

    with IP transit essentially a commodity today I'd choose a provider on their honesty (it's the other guys fault, we don't see it, etc) and responsiveness (MTTR, email replies, phone, etc)...not 10ms....

    A CDN will only solve your network latency, redundancy, and load issues; it will not solve your application latency, redundancy, or load issues. Depending on the requirements of your application, you...

    there aren't any viable peering facilities in Oregon. Closest major interconnect points are in Seattle and San Jose -- so that's where the traffic will be handed off. If you're curious about peering...

    Last I heard that place was dreadfully empty.

    depends on the location. LAP is about $800/m, but I don't recall if that includes power. Don't forget cross connect and power costs.
  14. FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Because that's what I...

    FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Because that's what I learned on and haven't had the need to deploy anything else. I've used debian, CentOS, RedHat, etc; but those are usually temporary installs until one of...

    is the 15A per cabinet rule at Fremont I an engineering limitation or a marketing ploy (or a little of both)?

    They did handle it well. I'm not a huge fan of outsourced NOC's, but what 365Main does do inhouse, they do very, very well.
  17. well, you got the first part right. If you don't...

    well, you got the first part right. If you don't have anything laying around and don't want a giant, power sucking machine for a homebrew firewall; look into getting a Soekris or comparable box. They...

    What kind of features are you looking for in a firewall? Both the PIX and the 5GT have their advantages; but Cisco's already got one point in its favor since you're quite familiar with their products.

    nick, I believe your information is a bit dated (specifically the WilTel fiber bit), but you're right: mzima has some good stuff :) plus they are very easy to work with; which is a big deal when...

    so while this friendly debate about phpBB rolls on...can anyone clue me in on how to quickly and accurately find out the version of a phpBB install? grepping index.php and config.php didn't reveal...

    F5 BigIP's are really P3 machines running a bastardized version of FreeBSD - they are not a "hardware" or ASIC based director. At least, that's what they were last I checked (over a year ago)
  24. Every switch I've ever come across had packet...

    Every switch I've ever come across had packet counters solely on a per interface basis. It would be far too complicated and far too computationally intensive to count packets per IP. That said,...

    OnFiber does transit now? OnFiber will give you a cord from point A to point B however you fancy: ethernet, sonet, wavelength. Cogent gives you a cord with IP on it. I've never asked, but I'm almost...
