I'm a big fan of the black-and-purple LinkSys routers; I've had a half-dozen in service, and most are running DD-WRT. You'll want to make sure you buy a Linux-compatible one; Cisco and LinkSys before them released a couple of "cost-reduced" (i.e., cheaper for them) models that won't run Linux. See the DD-WRT website for details. It does depend on the OP's requirements, too: the LinkSys boxes are fine for most low-traffic use, but don't hold up as well to intense throughput needs. I have an old v.2 box I've used for a decade that is rock-solid, but I've had to discard a couple of other ones that just were not reliable. We're running OpenWRT, White Russian, on a Linksys WRTSL54GS and it's also been working well. I haven't tried the multiple IP routing, though. We just get by with a single static IP here and host most of our stuff elsewhere. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
