Search Again: Re: EIMS and QuickDNS From: stuff Date: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 Time: 4:40:00 pm FWIW, I am running QDNS and SIMS on a PM 6100 and also on a Q700 with CommuniGate (instead of SIMS) no crashing problems. While there could be something with QDNS, I haven't seen it and with one of my webservers displaying over 1 million pages per month, my DNS does get a good work out (not to mention the 25 other much lower volume domains). >I am referring this here, since Glenn (qualcomm/EIMS list) indicated to >me that EIMS is not causing, and does not cause a crash on our server. > >Here is the a snip from my post to the EIMS list: > ><ME> > >>I have every intention of moving QDNS and EIMS to separate machines, as >>they are the only two apps we still have running together on the same >>machines.

I would need a MacsBug log to tell.
