Put the access servers in a private network and an OpenBSD box in front. We use such a setup for the ports.openbsd.org machines. There is a little Soekris that can be accessed by ssh and that runs ports/comms/conserver, and on a separate interface it is connected to an access server. Alternatively, you can put puc(4) cards into an OpenBSD box or hook up a tangle of ucom(4) adapters to a tree of powered USB hubs. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
