Re: WebTen speed improvement on my machine

Thanks for the assist.  I have made sure the caches are disabled and am trying
that out.  My server was going down every couple of hours and looking at the
logs, it always seems to be preceded by a series of hits from Nimda infected
servers.  

WT is running off an additional SCSI-3 HD I installed for it as opposed to the
startup disk.  Tenon tech supt said to reformat the drive, reload the OS, and
reinstall everything.  I shudder to do this for all the work it entails,
especially with WT and the certificates.  It has been running very well for a
very long time and to suddenly (relatively) start to have problems, especially
just after Nimda and Code Red hit, causes me to think it's not WT itself.  

I tried to install IPNetSentry but that requires OT and I have different IP
addresses for some of the domains I host all running on the WT stack.  When I
switched to OT for IPNetSentry, those domains disappeared from the net and the
owners weren't too happy.  If there is something I can configure in OT/WT/OS 9.1
to make that work, it would be an option to explore.

Will let you know it it runs more reliably now.

Thanks for the info.
