RIght now, probably less than 50, but it will grow quite a bit as we start
retiring the piece of swiss cheese that currently masquerades as a firewall
in its place.
More importantly, I don't think you would have a fat enough internet pipe to
worry about saturating that box. Unless you're sitting on a DS3, I would
figure that you're pipe would be the limiting factor, not the firewall.
