Dear all,
1- can i use snort inline+iptables in router (no bridge) mode under linux?
Yes, you can. All you have to do, is to redirect all your incoming (and
possibly outgoing) traffic to QUEUE target in your iptables rules.

2- what's the performance issuses when using snort inline + flexresponse mode?
Processor usage is strictly connected with traffic size, but there is
constant RAM usage (in my case 20-30 MB of RAM is used).
I had no time to do any traffic latency tests.

thanks
afshin
