Hi, We are running some tests on some web servers here. Some real busy fellows (about 250 ESTABLISHED connects on average) the problem lies when we get real heavy traffic, about 500 to 600 connects. We are running zeus web server on a linux-2.2.6 pII 300 with ultra scsi 10000 rpm cheetah drives,3c0m 905b-100mb. The problem is Zeus does not fork like apache does. So the process runs out of file handles when the number of connections shoots up. Except for the file handle problem (which makes zeus kind of unstable) zeus is a fine product. I would take the "pepsi challenge" against any web server. Now I could take the easy hack and just bind another ip and run another instance of zeus. I would like to try and raise the open file limits for the process. I have read instances of doing this and would like to know the safest method/settings for doing this. Thanks jpd
