Hello, I've built 2 firewall machines, a bridge/firewall and a Nat/firewall with Fbsd4.3 to connect a lan and a dmz to internet. Because of ipf doesn't work with bridging on fbsd I used ipfw on the bridge and ipnat/ipf on the nat. I'd like to use ipfw/natd also on the nat machine to connect the lan to internet so to have the same firewall(ipfw) on both machines. I know that ipfw/natd requires more cpu cicles than ipf/ipnat. But how much is natd/ipfw slower than ipnat/ipf? Can be the difference between the two a bottle neck for my Lan(about 200 machines) or dmz (about 50 machines)? ______________________________________________________________________ Guarda il nuovo video di Natalie Imbruglia, e 3 clip audio http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/?http://it.music.yahoo.com/natalie/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
