1. I use pf on the router.
2. My setup looks like this ISP---switch---FreeBSD_router---Juniper_firewal=

So as long as my router can proccess the traffic I'll can manage all the re=
st (eg. customer firewalls=2C zoning etc) on my Juniper hardware.
3. The rules at the moment just filter SSH connections to the router.=20
4. I'm looking into enabling pooling=2C but I need to test it before it goe=
s to production.

I can collect sFlow from my switch so that should do it. What software woul=
