It is not distributed `round-robin', but `first non-busy server gets it'. Hence, there's this decreasing amount of time the various servers spent. Since your last server has only spent one hundredth of a second yet (which is presumably its startup CPU consumption), i don't think the load on your nfsd's is your bottleneck. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
