I'm collecting opinions regarding hardware to use for a firewall. If you are interested in weighing in on this subject, I'm interested to hear your ideas. The hypothetical firewall is a purpose built OpenBSD box running OpenBSD Packet Filter (pf), on a box that bridges the outside world to a protected network of approximately 1000 nodes. The box needs to have a network interface for administrative access via ssh, and two high-throughput network interfaces to provide the "bridge" from the protected network to the internet. Given this general scenario, what sort of box might you purchase and/or assemble for this purpose? What elements would you consider critical? (architecture, interfaces, harddrive or alternative, CPU, etc..) Thanks, Eric Weston, Libraries
