My server has pings of <1 second between machines. My server is a Pentium 3 500Mhz with 384Mb of SDRAM I hope you meant 512kbps instead of Megabytes per Second, I'd kill for that bandwidth. I don't use a front end, just a batch file I wrote to keep the server going if it totally crashes. I can look up the settings to get a little better performance, but I wont be home most of today.
