WOW..Robert..I like that page. From the brief look I took at the page that is looking like it is going in the right direction. I would imagine a CentOS or a Ubuntu server would work well and then bolt the stuff on top of that. I am leaning a bit more towards IpCop but I am not married to anything at this point. I just want something that works...as or better than expected. If I can offload firewall duties and such to the box, so be it. I have a few extra boxes around so hardware isn't an issue. I would beinterested to know if you have set one of these up before and how things went?
