We are currently running 2 Bering 1.0 routers (each with 4 subnets / NICs)
on a network of about 300 systems. We have had no issues with Bering and are
very happy with it. The question is that we are looking at growing our
network significantly in the next year. (Doubling in size is a distinct
possibility.)  I am just wondering how many systems I can run off of these
two routers before I start getting worried that they can't keep up. I am
considering re-subnetting the company so that I can get around having a
limit of 253 hosts / NIC. 

Here are a few particulars of the hardware.

P133 and a P100 with 64 MB of RAM.
One router is running a 4 port NIC the other 4 3COM NICs.
They are both running DHCRelay so that DHCP requests can get forwarded to
our DHCP servers on one of our subnets.

Should I look at upgrading the RAM / CPU? At what point does this become
redundant? 
How can I prevent buffer overflow when traffic is high? Is there somewhere I
can go to increase the available memory?

Thanks in advance.


Troy
