Central Server

["Eric J. Taylor" <ETaylor () it-simplified com>]

Good day,

Hope all is well with everyone. New to sort and the ids/ips world, but looking forward to have more secure network(s).

I hope this is a easy answer to my question today. Been reading through the docs, and I see no mention about having a 
central server for multiple loctions. The locations are not joined in any fashion, as in seperate companies all 
together. If I was put a central snort box and connect the firewalls (mostly mikrotik) to the central server, is there 
any special gotchas or considerartions I need to review? I also don't know how much traffic is really sent over the WAN 
for analisis either. As a couple of sites use the same subnet schema, I will have to consider some changes at the 
locations to support IPSec from remote site to central server; if IPSec between locations is recommended.

And please, if I am over looking this part in the documents please point me to it as I don't see it currently.

Thanks in advance for your time and helpfulness as I try to figure this puzzle out.
