I have been asked by a Danish ISP who's about to go multihomed, if
a FreeBSD box can run the BGP router when they get their own AS.

I presume that would mean they will run gated.

Anybody have any comments on this ?

Any info on the subject welcome, in particular about what size of
machine to use, and problems to look out for.

Thanks in advance!
