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!
