Unfourtunatly RAQ3 only has Bandwidth Limiting and not Transfer Limiting.
Bandwidth limiting will actually only allow a certain connection speed. So
if you had a limit of 128kbs, what you are doing is making it so that only
128k can be served from that site per second. While this is a great thing to
have, a lot of people like to limit transfers. This is usually measured as
mb or gb per month. While working for an ISP, I have noticed that most small
sites are doing about 1-4Gb's per month. But in no way would I ever thing of
limiting there bandwidth to 3.24kbs. This would bring there site to a crawl.
We too had a pricing model based on transfer rates, but what we did is made
sure our LOGING was extremely accurate. We would bill against that. We had
pricing models for gb's per month and then would carge additionally for
anything over. The way we saw it was why limit the site. If the site wants
to go over fine, charge them latter for it.
While at that company we used NT IIS with WebTrends. I absolutly love
WebTrends and am very happy with there products. I am quite new to the
cobalt raq3 and have only had it about 1 week. Already have Apples' Darwin
Streaming Server, and Sun's JDK1.2.2rc2 running great on it. Either way...my
question...are the logs for the websites in a format that WebTrends can
recognize? Or will it take setting up a second set of logs for WebTrends? I
would imagine changing the ones that run, would break the SiteAdmin section
and I don't want to do that.
