This is more of an observation than an actual bug - but I have a 100mb local LAN and several machines on it.
On one machine I have the entire Cooker contents which I sync regularly with the main mirror. On that same machine, I use Guarddog to configure iptables and maintain a firewall. What I have observed is - when I disable the firewall - I get very fast throughputs (up to 10MB) when updating sources, or downloading packages within the local network. When the firewall is enabled - the performance is dramatically slower (seems to go in bursts) - I would expect the firewall to be slower due the packet inspection overhead - but this seems VERY dramatic as far as the performance difference. Any comments would be welcome . . . Thx, R.Fox -- Robert Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fox Consulting Services
