Sure, a lot of people were at this point of their learning curve, pretty sure that they will withstand anything with their multi-GHz, multi-core CPUs. Then they met real world, or as it is often said, real world met them. (and I'm all for FreeBSD boxes, don't get me wrong, the whole point of this discussion is that either you're doing hardware forwarding and you're pretty safe [unfortunately often with a lot of caveats, but still], or you're doing software forwarding and you have a nice attack vector open for anyone willing) -- "Everything will be okay in the end. | Łukasz Bromirski If it's not okay, it's not the end." | http://lukasz.bromirski.net
