First off, please excuse the cross post between lartc and netfiler, the line between the two is very blurred here (at least for me)... A thought just crossed my mind now while working on a new iptables/tc collaboration for a project. I use iptables to basically seal off a linux gateway, we''re very restrictive on what users can do on the connection. For now I''m using destination

Guys After reading through the archives I found some insightful ways to be able to shape traffic to pppoe clients from the server. I have two questions on the topic of setting up a pppoe server however... 1. The clients will all be connected to each other using a normal ethernet network, the segments connected with managed switches. The capacity is roughly 500 nodes. Will these pppoe sessions

Howdy all Apologies to the folks subscribed to the globalize list for dual posting this message... I''ve got a project running globalize and rails 1.1.4, and I''ve only recently adopted a strong love for testing. Now my models are 100% tested (I must note that I do not make use of any translations in the database yet), and I''ve now started with functional tests before

Guys I''ve been struggling with this one for a couple of hours, and nothing seems to work here, any advice would be duly appreciated... Background: I''m busy working on a plugin called "shared_models", allowing you to easily share models between different applications, running different database or on the same database. The plugin is nearly complete, offering a

Guys I'm desperately looking for a postfix 2.2.x SRPM. I currently use 2.1.5.. I've found these, http://ftp.wl0.org/yum/postfix/2.2/rhel4/SRPMS.postfix/ Has anyone tried them, or can anyone recommend a proper SRPM for me for Centos 4.1?

Guys Reading through my lartc mail, and thinking on how to tackle my next shaping solution, gave me an idea. I''d like to propose this idea for scrutiny and if it sounds viable I''ll definitely need to start developing in due time. For me in my day to day work with developing network application specifically geared for middle-tier ISP''s, and reading on other peoples

Guys Considering the festive season is upon us, thanks to everyone contributing to the list and helping all the readers with your great input! I don''t want to mention names, I''ll most certainly leave someone out. With this mail I''d like to test some theory on bandwidth management, with my own successes and failures during the past year.

Guys Oppologies for the cross post. I''ve been scouring the docs coming with the wrr patches and for the life of me I can''t figure out why there are 8 parameters for each class. <snip> weight1, min1, decr1, incr1, weight2, min2, decr2, incr2 </snip> According to the docs these parameters are handled the same way, but looking at the example scripts there are

Guys I''m looking for some advice on the following situation: We''re serving a residential complex with internet, the network has grown and with it has the problems, below is a descriptive layout of our current setup: Connection: ADSL Down/Up speed: 512kbps/256kbps (1024kbps/256kbps in the near future) 2.0GHz Celeron D with 512MB RAM Current users: 140 Maximum amount of users:

Hey Greg- Yes I am sorry, the new architecture uses fork and named pipes and a bunch of unix stuff to do its magick. Now you may be able to port it to qwork on windows, but I don''t think it is possible :( I''m really sorry about this but I need this thing to be as robust and solid as it can be and in the end windows isn''t compatible. Now you may be able to

It''s that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has greatly improved the stability of the new system. And Ara Howard has helped a ton by working with us on the slave library to iron out the wrinkles./ The results is a lot nicer backgroundrb for everyone. I have to say another huge thanks to skaar. He has singlehandedly wrote almost all of this new version and many

Hello Folks- I am really happy to announce the release of BackgrounDRb 0.2.0 . This is a complete rewrite and re-architecture of this codebase. I want to thank skaar for all of his hard work. I put out a call for help with the new architecture and skaar stepped up bigtime. I had already written the new scheduler and cron compatible syntax and moved to multi process architecture. But he

Hi Folks, I am glad to announce a 1.0.1 release of BackgrounDRb library. It has numerous fixes and some nice feature updates, so please upgrade.

Hi Folks, I am glad to announce 1.0 release of BackgrounDRb. This would be a major release since 0.2 release of BackgrounDRb. Here is a brief summary of changes: - BackgrounDRb is DRb no longer. It makes use of EventDriven network programming library packet ( http://packet.googlecode.com ). - Since we moved to packet, many nasty thread issues, result hash corruption issues are totally

Hi Folks, BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks. Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced from http request/response cycle. This new release of BackgrounDRb is also modular and can be used

Ok two things that bug me 1) http://backgroundrb.devjavu.com/projects/backgroundrb/ticket/48 i thought i''ll just post ticket link - but well - it''s strange 2) when i switch base class from RailsBase to Base i can''t access MiddleMan - i get error NameError: uninitialized constant MiddleMan from (drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrbunix_localhost_2999)

After upgrading to backgroundrb 0.2.x, Rails barfs lstat errors left and right when using the console or webrick or mongrel on win32. We run our site on a Linux server, so I''m not trying to get backgroundrb to work on a win32 machine. I just want to quietly stop loading itself if it detects that it''s on a win32 machine so that the rest of Rails can continue to load. Most of

We ran into some problems accessing a freshly created worker, and had to insert a sleep of 1 second to get it to work. It looks like Ezra and skaar already know this: from middleman.rb: # HACK: there is a race in the worker/slave creation, we # currently need to sleep between create. sleep 0.1 You might want to increase it to 1 second for those of us on slowly mac books.
