That strongly depends on the OS you use. IMHO I'D _NEVER_ put security related
stuff on an NT platform, I'd like to really _KNOW_ what's goin' on with the
packets routed through. There are several other packets availabe for NT (Raptor
Eagle, Gauntlet etc.) I have no experience in.
We're using Linux with packet filtering, TIS and IP logging; works fine, it's
cheap (0.00) fast an reliable.
We have about 120 nodes inside here getting partially masqueraded and/or going
out through squid object cache proxy server... and all this on a P166.
If you don't want to put everything together on your own, there's a commercial
version available too: http://www.linux-firewall.de. Don't know the price but
it's worth the look at.
