From the technical specs in Soekris website http://www.soekris.com/vpn1401.htm, each card can support 24 to 70 connections. The question is if we put 3 VPN1401 cards in a single box, does this mean the FreeBSD box can support 3 x (24 to 70) IPSEC connections ? Thanks in advance for the clarification and advice! Best regards Sekchye
