What does this box survive to do?
Transparent traffic shaping/firewalling via IPFW; it's not actually
visible to the internet. There isn't much load at all, but the hardware
is quickly aging. The dual power supply has saved it a few times, too. I
think there's another server which I believe is close to 2600 days
uptime but I'll have to brainstorm and see if I can remember which one
it is.
lmao... you must be a sysadmin ;)
IPFW is all I've used on FreeBSD. I designed an ISP edge based on
Microtic hardware with flash-based FBSD installs with Quagga and IPFW. I
was hesitant to change to anything else, because I wrote an awful lot of
Perl code that automated IPFW changes across the network.
I don't use FBSD as much as I used to, but I still stick to my roots and
write most of my code on it. I don't maintain many servers with it
anymore though.
This is why I thought I'd speak up... to let everyone know I'm still
alive and kicking. Apparently, so is one of my boxes ;)
Steve
