Well, once there is real SCSI support for the 3100m30 I plan to put my
vaxes to the test hosting a variety of *ahem* "sites". I think it'd be
hilarious to set up a vax-based "porn site" or equiv with LOTS -o- hits.
I've talked to a few people around with decent bandwidth that are
willing to try it - its not like the box could really saturate a T1 if
it tried :)
Simple Round-Robin DNS will help with a busy site in most cases. Else
www.microsoft.com would never load (it takes long enough as is :)
