  Has anyone used INN and the ccd for a news spool across 3+ disks?

  If so, how has reliability been?

  As far as INN itself under NetBSD, we are currently running FreeBSD
2.2.1R without ccd and performance of INN 1.5.1 has been absolutely
horrible.  We don't know if it's truly the nature of innd to grow to 132MB
RAM and higher, or if it's malloc().  We have 6-8 rish news feeds coming
in, and find ourselves restarting the server daily to free up resources.

  Can anyone comment?

thanks!
