The server has 128 megs of ram, 68060 processor, and 2 - 250 gig drives. I
have thought about this, but I would think that the kernel would not boot
if the values were set too high.

I have a newer server running NetBSD 2.1 and I have lighttpd install on
it. Putting lighttpd seems to have fixed the crashing problem on the newer
server, but on the old box with 1.5.4 I can't get lighttpd to work.  If I
use the packaging system it will not build, I only get errors. I built it
without the packaging system, but it core dumps immediately.  I then
install the bootstrap, lighttpd then will build but not pcre. So, I
removed it as a dependent and then lighttpd complains that pcre is
missing. So, I am really not sure what I need to do to make lighttpd work
on this server.

I tried the other night switching to apache and it had a load avg. of 55
and it was 3 am. I can't image what it would be like during the day.

Thanks,
