These will be so infrequently trafficked that I doubt they'll make much of a difference for system resources (the squeezebox server being the possible exception), but I would need that stuff supported if I went that route. I'm a rubyist, and the web server would probably be nginx with passenger and rails. This is stuff I already know how to do on linux, so I have a strong inclination toward linux. That said, I'll certainly have a look at pfsense and see if I'd rather just go with it and leave the other stuff on my desk box. Either way, much thanks for the suggestion. - Brett /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
