I'll take the disclaimer that I am speaking out of class perhaps, even
perhaps over my head, but a "Linux solution" can be as simple as one
motherboard, 2 NIC cards and RedHat 7.0 and still be quite effective. I
believe the minimum standard configuration I have seen this type of system
work was a Pentium 200 w/64 M of RAM, 2 NIC cards and a healthy dose of
ipchains. Last time I looked it had an uptime of over a year and still
standing.
Of course, your results may differ.
