What would you recommend as an ethernet-to-ethernet "router" situated between a 10Mb fibre link WAN and an ethernet LAN? This would be the first piece of an in-depth security defense. Requirements: o ingress/egress filtering for RFC1918 addresses, spoofed addresses, reserved network addresses, NETBIOS, other specific ports o FTP traffic from web/ftp server (5-10 MB per download) o routing minimum 2 Class C network equivalents o VPN for 5-10 users o DMZ There will a Stateful Packet Filter firewall sitting between the "router" and the LAN. Would you recommend a hardware only solution? What size CPU and memory would adequately handle a *BSD solution running ipfilter with 2 or 3 NIC's? I have begun to look at the Gnatbox, Netopia 9100R, Cayman Router, Cisco 1600 Series, SonicWall Pro, Multicom Ethernet II, WebRamp 700. Experiences with any of the above appreciated. Does anyone in *North America* have experience with Lightning's Multicom Ethernet II router? Thanks, Irwin _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
