<br>Also, you have mentioned the state of iptables connection tracking yet. That could be a problem if you believe the bottleneck is the server and haven't checked that already. You probably want to disable nf_conntrack and rewrite your iptables rules (or just disable firewalling completely).<br clear="all">
