FreeBSD 2.2-RELENG-970713 486DX4/120 Mhz 64 Megabytes RAM 2 Intel Pro 100B Ethernet Cards (1-Loaded, 1-Not) 2 Western Digital Elite Ultra 16 Ethernet Cards (1-Loaded, 1-Not) 2 SDL V.35 Ports (1-Loaded, 1-Not) Running Gated and some misc. other "small servers". No web, ftp, nameservers, etc.. Just the basics. How feasible is this? What are the chances that I'm already pushing the max this machine can handle, let alone if I start using the other interfaces more... Here is the BIG question... Assuming the above configuration, what is the minimum (read: acceptable->good performance) machine that would be capable of handling this? Oh yeah, it's also supporting a FULL BGP routing table from two peers (Mae-East & Chicago NAP). -- Rob === _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ Innovative Data Services Serving South-Eastern Michigan Internet Service Provider / Hardware Sales / Consulting Services Voice: (810)855-0404 / Fax: (810)855-3268 / Web: http://www.id.net
