Ultimately your problem is trying to increase bandwidth on a box that can only push 85 Mbps. When you get that to a level that it can potentially have 200 Mbps flowing to/through it, you're going to drag it down considerably. You just need a faster box, an ALIX isn't a good fit for that kind of scenario. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
