Hi all
I've been thinking about using CentOS on a Dell R200 server and turn it into a firewall / network monitor / traffic shaper in our datacentre, instead of using a dedicated firewall device.
One of the devices that I have been looking at, with my limited budget, is the D-Link DFL 860 - http://www.netdefend.eu/Product.aspx?m=15&ref=DFL-860
It provides AV, SPI, VPN, DOS, P2P, etc protection. Most of this can be done with Linux as well, but I'm not 100% sure about the AV part.
How will I use / setup CentOS to check all traffic coming in & out (HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, etc) for virusses and clean them? We host both Windows & Linux servers, and I'm not too worried about the Linux servers, but Windows needs a lot of extra protection.
ssshhh!!! Don't tell Trend Micro you are scanning for viruses at the gateway ... they don't like that term :-D

Are you saying I'm not allowed todo this, and will be violating a patent right for building my own network level virus scanner / anti-virus gateway?
No... He is saying that Trend Micro won't like it, and will sue you for millions of dollars and your first born child! ;-P
