Buying extra hardware is not an option coz we are nearing the end of the project. I'll just receive a lot of "I don't understand" from the japanese :) But i'll try to do some research on network-based IDS Thanks for your help guys! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ original message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ do all your servers have gigabit ethernet? if not, you might want to put GE NICs on your snort box, connect it to a switch together with some of your servers. just get a good switch. if you don't want to use a switch, install a 4-port 100Mbps NIC card on your snort box and hook up your servers there.
