Hey all, I have been using FreeBSD as desktop and server for over two years now. However, my knowledge on buying hardware to and setting up a gateway is very limited. Actually I have only toyed around with this in the security and comfort of my own home.
Ok. After this little self promo its time for my questions. The building I live in has 200+ apartments which in near future will share an (I hope) powerful internet connection. Now I was put in-charge of selecting the equipment to preform firewalling and gateway. What I like it to do is firewalling and some sort of natted intranet with bandwidth management. My question is. How powerful should the gateway/firewall be? I am thinking about CPU and RAM and hardware en general. Also I would be glad to get pointers on where to read for setting up this..ofcause I will start whit the handbook right about here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html and then go to google But if anybody has seen other documents/articles/manpages I should read please point me to em, this could really safe me some time, thanks. -- DetEr.dk - Rules are made to control the fun.
