Not really a CentOS specific question, but I hope it's ok...
I've decided to buy a server to use as a firewall/router instead of the usual Cisco box, simply because I've come to love Firewall Builder and would like to put all my subnets into one firewall. There will be four gigabit interfaces in the box, one of which will be the internet connection (so this one interface will use max. 10 mbit).
Question is if any "normal" hardware will be able to handle this if most of the interfaces gets saturated? What chipset / motherboard should I go for?
On a sidenote, I've noticed from the subject on some of the most recent messages that Bryans beeing hassled. I dunno what it's really about since I haven't read the messages, but I'd like to say that I consider Bryan to be a valuable asset to this list.
I suggest using m0n0wall. http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/
You can have good answers to your question on the m0n0wall list as well.

I would suggest using something like freesco. http://www.freesco.org/ Very easy to use. Fits on a floppy. Don't have the horse power problems. Hardware upgrades are easy and cheap.
