I have never tried IPNR, but my Performa 475 (with FPU upgrd)
is a beast running NetBSD with IPFilter and DHCP server with over
a year of uptime now.
I don't think that IPNR is going to be loading your big iron
significantly more even in Mac OS environment. You may have to
reboot it once a fortnight though. I heard a lot of good words
about the product, the only reason I never used it is that you
have to pay money to do that :)).
