I dunno how *you* do it. :) *We* used a commodity PC running Linux, with a home-grown firewall script, and policy routing rules and IP address binding to assign services to feeds. Depending on you have for in-house experience, this might be right up your alley or a horrible nightmare. There are software distributions these days which are essentially an appliance on a CD -- they'll walk you though the process of installing and configuring a Linux- or BSD-based firewall/router like this. Recommendations I've seen on this list recently include ClarkConnect, SmoothWall, pfSense, and Endian. I can't speak to how good any of them are; I have no experience with most and nothing recent with the others. There are also numerous commercial products which can route, firewall, and prioritize multiple feeds. Prices range all over the place. What do you have for existing infrastructure, especially routers and firewalls? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
