Good Afternoon...
I'm a BSDI shop, but a WAN card vendor has *strongly* suggested
FreeBSD for my "Super Router" project, as I like to call it. It will
be a rack-mounted PC with 12 PCI slots and will be set up something
like this:
NODE 1 -> WAN A (AT&T PTP T1 for bandwidth)
NODE 2 -> WAN B (T1 to Bell South's FR cloud, used to sell above
bandwidth to other FR customers)
NODE 3 -> LAN A (my accesss servers)
NODE 4 -> LAN B (my UNIX boxes)
NODE 5 -> LAN C (hosted UNIX boxes)
...
Since I've always used an El-Cheapo, works-out-of-the-box router, I
have a *massive* amount of homework to do before I take this project
on. I'll want this new router to perform a lot of advanced magic.
Finally, my question: Where can I find some in-depth documentation on
using FreeBSD for such a project (aside from `man gated'). Please
make suggestions that can be found on the Web, as I'm not running
FreeBSD yet.
Thanks!
Scott
