Rather use Intel. Back to the topic though, how does one guarantee 100% uptime on the firewall level when you use a standard dedicated server? Even if the server (Dell / Intell / SuperMicro / you name it...) has redundant PSU's and HDD's, there could still be hardware failure. And, unless you buy 3 or 4 at a time, you may run into a where once you pop the HDD into a new (standby?) chassis that something may not be compatible and the firewall might be down for a few minutes, or even hours while you search for a solution on the internet, or with the hardware vendor. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Dedicated Firewall/Router
Hi All, I want to build a dedicated firewall/router as I am launching a NPO and I can host this in my garage. (Comcast offered me a 100 x 20 circuit for $99/mo with 5 statics) I used to run Untangle, but as of version 9, you are forced to use their build in protocol policies versus the firewalling I am used to (Deny All and then opening holes for specific IP's, etc). There are so many firewall distros to choose from. FireStarter, IPCOP, etc. The box I was going to use is a P4, 3GB RAM, 3 GB NICS. I could always use a beefier box also if there was really a need to for such a task. I am used to some Cisco PIX boxes and they just seem fast on hardly any specs. I had a PIX 525 that only had 256mb of RAM about 8 years ago and it was a rockstar. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions are welcome as to what to do! -Jason ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
