...e traffic up to 10GB's. Should I just be happy with Cat6 for my GB switches or is is worth getting more into the details and seeking 550mhz-rated cable?

...x or RH in the near term. One thing I just noticed was when I tried to search out Tripwire RPM's, that none seemed evident. Can anyone point me in the direction of an Tripwire RPM that works with CentOS 4.3, or advise me on how to create one from the Tripwire source download on Sourceforge? -karlski

...for this subject, but not finding it, -anything I need to keep my server farm of 60 centos servers (that all run ntp) going smoothly during this next time change on March 11?

Is there a specific way to set a name server so that clients are always *forced* to use an autoritative name server? UltraDNS and some others have mentioned little features they have, but it only hints at the possibility that somewhere in the DNS spec. -karlski

...the documentation i've come across seems vague. Can someone advise me on either of these issues?

...one large machine with alot of mem/cpu/i/o capacity, these are all being examined. Just curious what you think, or if you know of any great resources on the subject.

Hello, I have recently switched from having a dynamic IP address and using a DNS service like zoneedit and dyndns to having a static IP address. How do I stop having to use these DNS services and use my own? I tried changing the DNS servers at my registrar but it won't accept my server. TIA

Now that I've been enlightened to the terrible write performance of ext3 on my new 3Ware RAID 5 array, I'm stuck choosing an alternative filesystem. I benchmarked XFS, JFS, ReiserFS and ext3 and they came back in that order from best to worst performer. I'm leaning towards XFS because of performance and because centosplus makes kernel modules available for the stock kernel.
