I asked cause my friends @ school have been tring to built an experiemental structure, kind of helps in my forensic research too.

This structure is to be able to have seamless transfers between different servers.
Its quite harmless really. So far, I've fired VOB files along it.. REALLY fast (aprox.. 7000KB/s avg).. But that was on a 100Mb/s switch connected to a 10Mb/s hub connected to a school LAN with (now) 12Mb/s of "pure" partial ds3 power.. ohhhhh.....
Ya.. I'm a network geek..
heheh...
Problem is.. I'm not yet certain why the throughputs are bogged down. I'm tempted to switch the environment all to Linux. Grrrr...
