   SPEC has determined that this result was not in compliance with the 
   SPECweb99_SSL run and reporting rules. Specifically, the result did not meet 
   the 3 month availability requirement in the SPECweb99_SSL run rules due to a 
   change in availability of the OS.

SUT Notes
    1 (36 GB 10K RPM) disk with vxfs used for HP-UX
    1 (36 GB 15K RPM) disk with hfs used for the file_set
    1 (36 GB 15K RPM) disk with hfs with largefiles, behind used for logs
    largefiles is an option used when making the hfs file system. When this
    option is used, the maximum size for the files created on the file system is
    not limited to the 2 GB limit.
    behind is an option used when mounting the hfs file system. This enables
    asynchronous writes to disk.
    Bound each Zeus instance to the processor corresponding to its NIC
    Processor binding is performed by: mpsched -c cpu# -p pid
