We are interested in using a FreeBSD box as a dedicated router.  A couple of
questions come to mind.  How many ethernet interfaces can be reasonably supported?
Is there a significant performace penality verses using a "real" router?  Finally
is there support for routing IPX packets, and if so what version of FreeBSD is
need for IPX routing?

If anyone else is doing this, are you happy with the performace?  Any suggestions
for ethernet cards to use in this application.
