My old budda Linux Box has three Lan Cards on the only three PCI slots
available. Internal Network, DMZ & DSL Wan link...all three used.

I am using IPcop for firewall. What do you guys think would be cheaper
(maybe also better), buying a multi-wan router & plugging it into the
WAN interface of IPCop or buying a new motherboard that has more slots
for network cards. In that case, will have to chuck out IPCop and look
for another open source firewall/IDS/NAT distro that supports more
than one port open to internet, maybe with load-balancing & failover
built in. Any suggestions along these lines?

I don't want to use DSL appliance for firewalling as detailed firewall
& IDS logs are a must. Anyways, can't do much with them.

With best regards.
Sanjay.
