I have a Cisco 2610 connected to 2 T1's to Savvis. I have a pending UUnet T1. Simplest option would be get a 3640 with 3 T1 internal dsu's. BUT, that is $13k and change. I also have a 2501 sitting here not being used, and a BSD box with 3 nics being used as firewall. My idea: 2 Savvis T1's on the 2610 1 UUnet T1 on the 2501. Run those into 2 of the nics on the firewall box, then the other nic to my switch. I would like to make the bsd box be a bgp router (possibly with zebra) but I'm not quite sure if that would work or what? Configure it to broadcast our routing table, and pull routing tables from uunet and savvis. The cisco's don't have enough memory to do so, and I'm doubting they have the processing power with the traffic we get. Any suggestions/ideas would greatly be appreciated.
