Thanks for your help Eivind.

- Are there tools to find out about current amount of traffic?
- Our uptime requirements are basically from 6am to 6pm during city's
business hours.

- Again, how do I find out?

have improved this).
- Currently I have two:
Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers with two Intel Xeon 3.0GHZ CPUs, and 4GB
RAM each running RHEL 5.8 OS
Thanks again,
