I think you missed the point -
What I tried to say was that Portus - which uses a ftp proxy - will require 
big iron to meet the bandwidth demanded, then said that I was in agreement 
that using something other than a full firewall is probably going to be 
necessary to meed the demand. I recommended looking elsewhere. So, are you 
saying that you've managed to get 300Mb/sec through a ftp proxy?

I think what you're trying to say is that a simple router isn't going to 
handle the load; that's probably the case - multiple servers and load 
balancing is probably going to be necessary.
