I am trying to assess its feasability. We want to use one FreeBSD system with three NIC's in it running at 100 MB/s (all three to a different switch). The machine will need to router between the three interfaces (it will server as a gateway/router), filter packets ala a firewall, and all www/ftp/SSL traffic will need to be process by our Squid/SmartFilter system, i.e. block that traffic unless its from itself. Also have you had performance problems? Three 100 MB/s NIC's running at full speed will probably kill the PCI bus... Thanks for your help.
