mercutio: daca: cool
most systems have vt-d these days
well systems you may want to virtualise on.
vt-d is acutally more secure if not doing passthrough too
RandalSchwartz: how do you know so much about this?
consultant?
kellytk: mercutio: Parallels has a GUI option for selecting isolation, however I haven't found any technical description of what that means
For future reference, the UEFI FBSD builds were not recognized
mercutio: i didn't realised freebsd had uefi support
is that new in 10?

sjackso: mnathani_: What's I've done is set up VMs in the VirtualBox GUI (sometimes fiddling with advanced settings via VBoxManage), and then start them with with the VBoxHeadless command
I've also used VirtualBox's remote display server + xfreerdp when I need to peek at the console of a headless VM
kellytk: I would appreciate suggestions for high-performance HTTP reverse proxies. I'm considering eliminating an entire web server in a stack that only uses one for HTTP reverse proxying to Node.js instances
mercutio: trafficserver
kellytk: I'd be looking for something without the caching feature
mercutio: nginx
grody: haproxy
kellytk: grody: I looked at that. Have you run it in production?
grody: production.. no, not i
brycec: relayd? httpd? :P (I can't speak from experience, but know they can both do that sort of frontend/load balancer activity)
kellytk: I hadn't found relayd (http://relayd.org/about.html) thanks brycec
brycec: (Count on the OpenBSD nut to know about OpenBSD things)
mercutio: relayd is a bit finicky under freebsd
it's stable under openbsd though
brycec: (and nobody is really surprised about that ^ :P)
mercutio: the finicky part or stable under openbsd?
brycec: I'm surprised it runs on non-OpenBSD at all.
mercutio: stable
mercutio: yeah
brycec: it's just libevent
and pf
which freebsd has too
daca: kellytk: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/
mercutio: pound is perl and so low performance?
he said high performance rather than flexible.
maybe performance isn't too bad
daca: it isn't perl, it just uses pcre
kellytk: daca, thanks, pound is on my list
mercutio: oh it's python/c?
daca: it is c
mercutio: ahh the tarball had a .py file in it
but it may be just part of the compile process.
daca: I quote: If the PCRE, tcmalloc (from the Google perftools package) and/or Hoard are available Pound will link against them. This will provide a significant performance boost and is highly recommended.
mercutio: cool
varnish seems popular
but never gave me a good impression
daca: well he asked no caching :)
mercutio: yeh i dunno what he has against caching
kellytk: As I already have nginx running well, I've decided to remain with it until I'm ready to run benchmarks, which is several months out
I don't have anything against caching, I simply don't have need for it at present
