Also answered by Kevin offline. Swapping out to hard drive because of 
lack of memory.

Not answered by anyone. Any ideas.


Another question has popped up. Our Sysadmin at our ISP said he 
tweaked Apache to run better under heavy loads. Were can I read up on 
this more in detail. I have O'Rielly's Apache the definitive guide 
and have read a lot about apache. I have not found too much, or I 
missed something, about how to tweak the Apache server in different 
situations.

Any thoughts or suggestions on these last two things would be appreciated.
