Another question ... ;-) I noticed that IPFW supports bandwidth shaping.. Several boxes I use push lots of traffic - in hte area of 2 megabits each. If I were to start placing traffic limitations to certain addresses or all of them does it take CPU load or cycles from the box to process these? In other words, would I sacrafice CPU usage to use this feature? matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
