Hi Danny, I recently added a 4th nic to my GB-Flash v3.3.4 box. This nic was actually a 4-port Adaptec nic so I really added 4 interfaces, although I'm only using one at this time. It works great.
If you put a syslog server off a 4th nic, how were you planning to access/view the logs once they are saved on the syslog server? What I am getting at is, that by what you're proposing you would succeed in reducing the traffic between your PRO interface and your LAN, but if you were planning to access that server (i.e. to view logs) remotely over your LAN, that traffic would still need to pass through the firewall. I guess you could multihome your syslog server with one nic residing on the new DMZ segment and one residing on your LAN segment to facilitate remote access to the logging server as well as backups, etc. Hope this has helped.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gb-users] GB Flash and 3+ NIC support I am wondering if the GB Flash ver 4 allows one to insert a 4th NIC such that the only device on the 4th NIC would be a syslogger for capturing and storing the logs. Since about 27% of my entire traffic is the Firewall logs flying across my net, this seems a good method of eliminating that crap from my protected backbone. Any answers, thoughts or general comments are welcome. Happy New Year everyone!
