color=#0000ff size=2>I should also mention the changes that we did in the last
week. Before, we had 3 switches, the fiber drop came into switch 1, but the
firewall was off of switch 3, which was interconnected by switch 2. Don't
ask.... legacy setup.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=878251020-19062006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Over the last week, we have setup a core switch with the
firewall on it, it also connects to all the other switches(7) depending on
the cabinet (each has it's own switch). So now the firewall and fiber
drop are on the same core switch as opposed to having another switch in between
them. All the switches are Powerconnect 5324's. The way we've also
setup the cabinets switches try to keep traffic destined for that switch on that
switch. Before when you made a web request, you bounce back and forth for
web, app, db, etc requests. So if anything, our network performance should
be a lot better.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
