As i said before the REAL issue with the "old" plugin was the

special snort ruleset that would generate 2mb of data every second and
you try to force that data arround the world over a 128k/s link, then
you might have other issue.

So you're saying that as long as you don't expect stooopid levels of
alerts, running multiple barnyard2's over a WAN back to a single SQL
server should be fine?

I just might have to try out your latest version ;-)


Yup.
The schema have its known issue but the plugin is production stuff in
its new form.
