You might run some (non-DB) performance tests to get a feel for how bad it might me. (Someone once told me that NFS topped out at around 12MB/s, but I don't know if that's really true [they were trying to sell a competitive networked filesystem]). In any event, you're at least limited by ethernet speeds, if not more. -- Steve Wampler -- swampler@xxxxxxxx The gods that smiled on your birth are now laughing out loud.
