FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, Intel & mijail5

I've spent the last week or so upgrading all of our FreeBSD 5.x boxes to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. While for the most part these upgrades have gone very smoothly, I've had two issues which it might be worth sharing with people.

GINX lives

Well, almost. We've finally taken delivery of the Cisco router. It only took Comparex seven weeks to deliver it — perhaps this is a new record? Kudos to Russell for patiently following up on it every so often, and for putting up with my nagging ;-).

Unfortunately we were sent the wrong IOS feature set (IP BASE rather than IP) so we can't do BGP just yet. Once that's sorted out, we might actually start exchanging packets between participants :) It'll be nice to finally have an Internet Exchange in Grahamstown.

A better design for a web server

We're about to order a new web server, so I've been thinking about new (better?) ways of setting up a large web server environment.
