Our site has approximately 440 Apollos on ethernet running sr10.1.
The Apollos are setup to run BSD4.3 unix exclusively. AEGIS is not
installed. We are experiencing some difficulties with registry nodes
being excessively overworked and occassionally melting down.	
	
	Apollo is recommending that we increase the number of registry 
servers. However, they cannot recommend what the proper ratio 
should be, nor can they tell us if the severe performance 
degradation will drop to an acceptable level. 

	Word about the poor registry performance has gotten out to the
users and they are refusing to have registries placed on their 
machines.

	Has anyone experienced this registry degradation? If so,
what was the solution? Finally, what ratio of registry servers
to nodes are you running? Our ratio is approximately 1/45.

	If I can get data on the proper ratio, then I'll be able to
convince the users to have registries placed on their nodes.

cheers,

rob...
