We installed InterStructures snap-in applications on a single-processor HP DL140 server with 1G byte of dynamic RAM running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and a single processor Toshiba Satellite workstation with 1G byte of dynamic RAM running Windows XP. We installed the Linux modules on Red Hat Advanced Server 4.0, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Fedora Core. All of the Linux distributions ran on HP DL140 servers.
We used an Active Directory installation with 300 users divided into three main directory trees. We created the relationship between the Samba modules running in each Linux server to gauge how rapidly synchronization could take place. We tested mass deletions, movements and group changes, then watched replication and audited the results.
We tested DNS by configuring forward referencing records, as well as MX and Dynamic Domain Name System records.
We created multiple DHCP zones, and tested DHCP services synchronized between Windows DHCP and Linux DHCP zones successfully. We removed and added zones and were able to ascertain that the changes happened almost immediately to Linux when they were made. We also tested Squid with Apache 2.0.3 running inside of each Linux server. We cached only HTTP for the testing purposes and checked module functionality options.
