As much as I hate to say this, stock FreeBSD makes a terrible high performance router. The route-cache is horribly out of date with modern techniques, and there just aren't that many wackjobs out there trying to shove a hungred megs through a unix box to fully debug it (with the exception of a certain notoriously cheap people who will probably respond to this email talking about their success with FORE ATM OC3 cards :P). Then again, as long as it's your network and not mind, who am I to stop you. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
