I am sorry but I haven't received your mail
directed to me so I'll disregard any information from the mail that I'm viewing
now from mr. Paul Rushing.
I do believe that load balancing is a
false problem for a network made out of 50 computers. I have seen LANs made out
of 100 comps and served by just one server that didn't had any problems in
passing the packets.
The problems that you should have are:
1. Is my hardware strong enough
to sustain the traffic? If you use Squid think at this struggle: caches vs. bad
blocks :).
2. is my bandwidth enough for
the applications inside my LAN?
If you need responses I must ask questions: what
will the traffic will come from? Net browse, gaming? You can get an accurate
ideea of what will be going on by knowing the number, size and type of packets
that will transit your gateway.
Be extra carefull while sayng I am sure I would not want to tighten anything as
all ports will have to be open and check out for what side will they be open ...
Use strong firewall rules especially if it is a internet
cafe.
P.S. Tell me us your problems exactly.
