Actually this brings up a really good point.  I know that FreeBSD runs
ftp.cdrom.com which is currently configured to limit the number of
users at 5,000 (yes that is not a typo - 5k simultaneous ftp users).
This is on what appears to be a very slightly above average x86 (500
Mhz Xeon, 4 Gigs memory, 500 Gigs disk).

Does anyone know if there is a similar NetBSD machine anywhere?  There
is nothing like trial-by-fire to harden an OS.
