What kind of network cards are you using, and what bus type are they using? >From my experience, I was never able to get over ~300Mbps routing from one PCI-X NIC to another PCI-X NIC. I switched out the bus to a PCI-Express and put a couple of Intel PCI-E 4x gigabit cards in and I was able to get over 950Mbps throughput.
