...yeah sure... Given two upstream providers is it possible to use a single or two FreeBSD boxes to do BGP routing and load balancing? And if so, what equipment should we use? T1 Cards? Routers? My current provider is telling us we need a Cisco 4700 (20-30,000). I was thinking if I could get a powerfull FreeBSD box (200MHz Pro/MMX with 128MB RAM) to do the routing it would be just as good and about 20,000 less expensive...please let me know if I'm off my rocker! Thanx, Randy Katz
