Hello
I have a lot of nfs shares on my server, some of them are ports systems
for OpenBSD and FreeBSD, plus /usr/src.
Obviously I find myself many times in the situation that I have files
moving across the network, to the clients, when the destination is the
server, and the origin is also the server.
I have the idea that there is no way around it, I don't remenber where
I got it from though.
So, I'm hunting for a replacement, something not complicated to use and
that is "sharp" enough to not use the wires when not really needed.
I also have this issue with samba at the charity, but in that case I
would point the finger to the win clients.
Almost all suggestions welcomed(1).
(1) I use 802.11b, 10mbit rj45 and bnc. Suggestions to upgrade to
100mbit will only be welcomed if accompanied with the hardware.
