Hi, I have been given the task of providing broadband Internet for a new apartment building. There are about 150 apartments and I am trying to think of the best way to tackle this one. The one condition is that I am able to track usage for billing purposes (simple byte count will do). The first option that sprung to mind was to just have one big lan with router, but there are concerns about security. My next idea was to buy four cisco 48-port switches and have each port on a seperate vlan, then create 150 vlan devices on FreeBSD and use ipfw or ipf to count the bytes on each vlan device. Can anyone tell me if this is feasable? or am I doomed to fail? thanks Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
