General Notes / Tuning Information
Network hardware: Foundry Network ServerIronXL (2x 1000Base-SX ports and 24 x 10/100 BaseT ports) DNS configuration: "A" records for every host on the network (to map hostnames to IP addresses). "PTR" records for every host on the network (to reverse map IP addresses to hostnames). Specify operf4.p.net as the only mail exchange for domain remote.p.net with an MX record of preference level 10. Testing performed at Mirapoint Headquarters (Performance Lab) in Sunnyvale, CA.
