I think it's more efficient - especially combined with all the network tuning that has been done recently by Robert Watson, John Baldwin, Mohan Srinivasan, Peter Wemm, and others. Another reason I'm so inclined to be FBSD centric on this. :) > You can compile most anything for > it, you're only limited by it's memory and cpu. I'm not familiar with > pfDNS.

Will need to do more research to compare limits against a /desired/ install base. Thanks again for the reply. --Chris > > Michael >
