is the FreeBSD box a firewall or just an application server? will it control access or provide logins to the users? if its a firewall, you need to rethink your design. either way a 3C509 MAY not be good enough. the driver in 1.1.5.1 lost interrupts occasionally. i dont know if this has been fixed or not. > And now ...
