is it possible to setup a beowulf cluster running many snort sensors at once? Is there any advantage in terms of performance on packet processing??
AFAIK, Snort is not coded in such a way as to take advantage of extra machines (or even extra CPUs in a multi-CPU machine).
If you need more power for snort than a single CPU can provide, you probably want to be looking at having multiple sensors and a IDS load-balancing solution (e.g. Radware or Top Layer).
Thanks in advance, Luis Claudio R da Silveira
