Thanks Mattmeck,
Those 3 sentences cleared up a weeks worth of frustration for myself and three friends, trying to figure out how we were going to manage running so many servers for so few people in our group!
But if it's the way you are saying, than we don't have to worry so much. 5-6 player, should be able to play on a 1.7GHz server with 512RAM, and have no problems playing... Although I may bump up the RAM to 1024RAM!

Thanks for clearing that up!

Woot! you rock. going to try that. Is a twin motherboard overboard thouth? i figure that two cpus on the same board is close to one and a half computers. Maybe i can run 40 or so static zone from one. if i have 3 of them i sould be in a wonderful server..

Have a static ip also. It helps out alot with the config.
