My Company is planning to use nntpcache on a larger scale. What is the ideal technical specification for a Linux Box that should serve up to 10000 clients (probably not more than 100 connections at the same time though). I have the following core - idea: Pentium II 400 - Good Motherboard Adaptec 2940 UW Controller UW Seagate HDs probably 2x9 GIG (maybe software raid :) Debian Linux (or redhat ????) Or is this too much ??? What are your experiences on a medium size ISP level? INN would run on another box (our existent News server). This server would hold our local groups and get country-wide postings from peerings we have with other ISPs. Local Groups would then be accessible through this server via nntpcache, whose main link would be to a big News Provider in the US. 1.) What are the best expiry settings for the various nntpcache - feeds (especially the main one). 2.) What is the minimum caching server spec? 3.) Any specific preference on redhat or debian or any other Linux 4.) Any other tips Any help is not only highly welcome, but very much appreciated :) regards Andreas P. Hamberger, M.A.
