Well, I wouldn’t buy one for use as a PostgreSQL 8.2.3 database, running on FreeBSD 6.2, at least. Not unless you hate money.

Interesting. I stumbled across your blog, then this post, and I will think twice about getting that dual quad core.

To be honest with you, it might not actually break any RFCs but it really seems like it ought to. Mostly it’s just to let people know it’s a dirty hack and to be aware of that fact if they decide to put it into production (though it appears to be a reliable dirty hack given the years we’ve used it in production with no ill effect).

For an increasing number of situations we deal with, it’s a great solution to instantly increase bandwidth without any sort of more complicated rejiggering… very handy for clients who have outgrown capacity on one line but (decide not to|can’t) afford a complete network restructuring.

Good article. You could add some header to the mail and set-up a proper scoring with spamassassin based on the os fingerprints.

One could add a header and score points directly or score using a bayes-type system in dspam or SpamAssassin .. we opted to leave that part of the exercise to the reader since there are a number of different ways to use the information.

> even though it likely breaks more RFCs than you can shake a stick at

I’m just curious (and maybe stupid): which ones?

btw: great article giving a “ready rolled” experience :-)
