I suppose I need a "We aren't idiots" disclaimer now? An IP on only one interface, readonly cables on others, and no packet forwarding at all. Not to mention (actually I did) netfilter rules to protect the machine. I understand the machine I mentioned could not handle 100mbps (fully saturated) on 4 separate links. From what I read in the list archive, several people agreed a 500mhz duron with 64 megs of ram would be sufficient for a 100mbps with "spurts" of full saturation. Is this now incorrect?

You do realize with that configuration, you have created a gateway to each network? The performance thing is based on traffic and load. If you have dual T-3's, 500 servers and 10,000 internal clients, I don't think that box can keep up. Jason Lewis http://www.packetnexus.com It's not secure "Because they told me it was secure". The people at the other end of the link know less about security than you do. And that's scary.
