You should propably not rely on ia32 compatibility
layer on any kind of production server unless absolutely
necessary, i.e. you need a legacy closed-source
x86 app. If it's critical, consider using FreeBSD/i386,
if not, try creating a x86 jail environment. This is not
so easy the first time you do it, but it comes very
comfortable later.
