My reply to this would be is there any way to re-concile some of the routes?
IE- lets says that 10.1.0.0, 10.2.0.0, 10.3.0.0.. etc through 10.100.0.0 go
to the same switch.
Is there any way to supernet some class B's or C's to cover what you have in
place? This may be a good way to help.
My reply to Sun saying "It isn't a router". Well what the heck IS a
firewall?
I will tell you that I am currently supporting a customer with 150+ routes
on an NT box.
Your 450+ should NOT be trembling at the knees.
How many NICs you got in this puppy, and what speed?
Are you doing encryption/authentication?
Any SMTP proxy or cvp stuff you could offload?

Subject: [FW1] Large number of Static Routes on a Sun box
We have a firewall (FW-1 v4) running on a Sun ES450 that connects numerous
subsidiary networks. As a result of the divergent networks involved (as well
as address translation in some cases), we have add a number of static
network routes (and static host routes) to the firewall. We are currently up
to almost 200 lines in the routing table. This firewall is experiencing
through-put problems (at least everyone is pointing fingers at it) and the
vendor (Sun) tech support has stated that it could be caused by this large
number of static routes. Has anyone else experienced this scenerio or have
experience with a large routing table on a Sun box? One comment I
particularly did not like was "It's not a router you know". Just what do
they think a firewall does anyway?
