Based on the numbers, I'd say the logging system is somehow duplicating each hit.

Another Boblogic problem. Damn, can somebody find me a programmer that knows what he is doing. Capt_Nemo? I'm offering upwards of $6/hr if the programmer is qualified.

Yeah, it looks like SI Bob [took] SI onto an Atari 16K machine
and put it in his bedroom in Kansas.....
He is supposed to have migrated to a WINDOWS platform
from something that works. Nobody I know who runs servers
would fool with NT or Windows unless.....
That could be 80% of the problem right there.
SI used to work on Linux.....
Another issue is you need a proxy server
in massive RAM caches to do this kind of stuff.
Squid would do it.
MS Windows does not do Squid.
I would take the server into Linux or Solaris,
use Apache for http or maybe a faster webserver,
use Squid with say 5 giges of RAM and use most often
loaded queuing algorithm to optimize page loads.
This would probably quadruple speed right there.
Part of the problem may be line speed too.
SI needs about 4 to 5 T1's in flat out speed 24-7.
If you buy flakey psuedo T1's from Sprint you deserve.....
That is how Sprint makes money.....
... you need a multi processor boards, about 4 machines,
and a real T3 line with a hissy-fit. (HSSFT).
People we know run a 1.5 million hit per day server
that does video and they run it on a 100 megabit line
with 7 servers. Altavista runs on 8 stacked boards
with 8 processors per board in two locations,
and it is on 4 T3's (or used to be).

Bob/Matt.....Is there anyway to get a post directed to no one in particular, to state Posted to all:, instead of Posted to none:? Sometimes, we just don't want to insult anyone by directing the post towards one person and "none" seems so insensitive and delusional.
