texte = On recommending a max of 20... i find that surprising. My other work server I would characterise as moderately busy but certainly not motherboard-meltdown busy. It regularly goes over 20 connections and often goes over 40. If you've got the RAM why would you risk displaying an error message by not specifying a higher number of max connections?Regards, Tim -- Tim Robinson IDFK Web Developments tim@idfk.com.au 114a/40 Yeo Street Neutral Bay 2089 Australia Phone +612 9908 2134 Fax +612 9908 4837> From: Donovan
