The most I've used is 4 nics but there shouldn't be any problem with the above. I have one machine routing a combination of RFC1918 address space and public space for about 20 sw developers. Oh, it's also acting as a firewall permitting only established TCP connections incoming. The client has a T1 connection and everyone is really happy with the system's performance. It is a P166 with 32meg but that is probably overkill. > By the way, the machine is a pentium-60, with 16 Mb's of memory (It was > running fine for a year of two with slackware 3.1, and bootpd, but since > the network card went defect, the problems kept coming... and never went > away... (can there be some hardware failure?)) Going from stable for two years to daily reboots does suggest a hardware problem :) Did you take a power hit?
