Yeah - seems that the VPN and captive portal bump up memory usage a little.
Okay - I'm in cloud cuckoo land with my numbers. Here's the mem usage line in top on my work box. Mem: 19M Active, 12M Inact, 43M Wired, 30M Buf, 420M Free That's 76 Mb of ram used, and 30 Mb in disk cache buffers. I don't run any swap space - that is probably what made me think of 128 Mb minimum ram. -----Original Message----- From: Volker Kuhlmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 23 June 2006 9:13 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Telstra cable...

I'm running it with just 64MB ram with 3 interfaces and a pile of NAT and routing rules, and it's faster than the cable internet. I'm not running a web cache on the firewall, I've been thinking that running that on a workstation on the LAN would be more suitable in my case (faster computer, oodles of disk and ram). > I have a P2 266 box here that is available for a demo if someone wants > to do it. Yeah ok, I'll demo a few firewalls. Thanks for that offer of a box, I'm not sure whether I'll have a spare computer to wreck at the time, or whether Xen would do it. Someone would need to lend some wireless stuff for the demo too. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
