I googled around a bit, it looks like basic vpn is supported for FreeBSD. I guess my questions are 1.) Does FreeBSD play well with vpn-capable routers (like a 3Com 5012) 2.) Would getting acceptable latency tunneling multicast mean hardware that's just as expensive as a router costing thousands? TINA Joshua Weaver Senior Systems Engineer Metropark Communications, Inc.
