You'll never get the through put with your bridged arrangement compared to a switch. [Mart] This is a fair point. Seems like an expensive use of a Soekris. Astlinux is more designed to act as a router/firewall.

There are some good reasons why it is not convenient to do this - mainly related to the siting of the kit - there are a lot of boxes and PSUs in a very tight space already - I need to save space and reduce temperature. Actually I didn't realise it would be a hassle - I thought this was what the kit was designed to do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darrick Hartman (lists)" <dhart...@djhsolutions.com> To: "AstLinux Users Mailing List" <astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Sunday, July 05, 2009 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Enabling Astlinux/Soekris hub > On 07/05/2009 12:13 PM, Mart Rogers wrote: >> Hi Philip >> >> that does the trick - thanks.
