I feel like I just woke up...and maybe that's because I just did wake up?  I was up at the ass-crack of dawn and was at the data center at 4am!!!  I thought this would be a quick trip and I wouldn't be spending much time there...5 hours later...I'm on my way home.  Everything is finally in place and everything is also working again...the downside...it's like NO faster then it was yesterday, which sucks because we've dumped thousands of dollars in hardware and manhours.  I guess we can at least rule the hardware out...but now I have to look at other places for the speed issues...we're natually looking at the firewall but I don't expect to gain much there...considering we're able to do so many other things that the firewall doesn't affect.  To make matters worse..I cut the tip of my right ring finger and it makes typing really difficult with a band-aid on...maybe I should just go back to bed...
