Honestly, I'm not up on the specs for the WRAP or Soekris boards, but
I'd be fairly surprised if they wouldn't serve admirably. I'm currently
using, of all things, a Microsoft wireless router that normally just
serves as my AP point (we just moved, and I have to rebuild my LEAF box
now that I have a connection the old ISA 3Com cards would throttle) and
I've had a radio stream, 2 connections to World of Warcraft, and about 5
threads downloading large files without a real problem. Given that the
thing is probably the most underpowered router-in-a-box I've seen, just
about anything should work fine for you.

Thanks George,
That's what I was afraid of. It looks like my options now are to build (or
buy cheep dell ($300 w/ no OS)) computer to handle firewall/routing or go
with the wrap or soekris.
I plan on having multiple video streams going through this router/firewall
nearly 24/7. (i.e. Lots of bandwidth, very few connections) Do you think I
need the extra cpu of a regular computer or will the wrap be able to handle
it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Subject: Re: [leaf-user] multiple static ip address router/firewall
None of the over-the-counter router-in-a-boxes are going to be able to
handle multiple static IPs, with the possible exception of a Linksys
that's had it's firmware replaced with a Linux-based one from the
hardware hacking groups.
An entry level Cisco is hideously expensive; I found two on Pricewatch
for $389 USD from a retailer with truly bad reviews. Last time I looked
for one (which, admittedly, was a couple of years ago) the same model
was going for $1500 USD refurbished.
I adore Cisco equipment and the IOS, but it is way too pricey if you're
not running a major site - and even then, it's questionable. You're
going to be far better off with Bering uClibc and any kind of hardware
than you are spending the money a Cisco will cost, especially since most
of them you'll need to buy a second ethernet card for your external
interface and actually get a license for IOS.

Hi group,
I have been using Bering uClibc for a couple of years now. It has been
rock
solid and great. My thanks go out to everyone.
I currently use my leaf box with 5 static ip's without any major problems.
But my question to you guys and gals is do you know of an over the counter
firewall/router (like Linksys, D-Link, or Netgear) that can route multiple
public static IP's for a single cable or dsl connection?
If there are no "cheaper" solutions, what would an entry level cisco model
be?
How would these solutions compare price wise to a WRAP running uClibc?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
