I'm using internal card by Riscom n2csu which has T1 csu/dsu/router built on, and Cyclades 16 port serials. They are both in a single BSDi box which does everything. I would like to separate the server functions using FreeBSD. I was looking into separating 16 serial ports into its own PC, csu/dsu/router into its own PC which handles DNS/Mail, and Web into its own PC. Is this a good start? If separating, all PCs will still have to have FreeBSD installed execept that the un-needed functions disabled?
