We're not really concerned with "outages" here, its routing load, which at T1 simply isnt an issue for a low powered pentium running freebsd and a busy web and mail server. Excuse me, but outages are paramount. They are the direct result of technology failure and are the metric of user pain and anguish. I agree that the routing load is not an issue, however, the load of a busy web and mail server may cause routing to fail. If you're implication is that a 2501 and an NT server is somehow more reliable than a freebsd box with a card, I think you'll bet a lot of disagreement on this list. I'm not trying to imply anything other than what I'm saying outright: running significant services on the same Unix box that you've got running mission-critical routing is going to be less reliable than a situation where routing does not have competition for resources.
