I use a 386/33 with 8MB RAM for this purpose. I've never noticed a performance problem. I even had my main e-mail and web servers on there for several months. I wasn't doing much packet filtering though... Cheers, - Jim pgpBDuYwuTKbU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Class of machine needed for DNS & router.
I have to set up a primary DNS that will also route between two 10base2 ethernets with packet filtering. The line to the Internet will be a 128 K ISDN line so that bandwidth will be limited there. What class of machine is necessary for such a task? I have 3 machines laying around, a 386-DX 40, 486-DX 33 and a 486-DX2 66. At this point it doesn't make sense to commit too heavy a machine for this purpose and I'll put 16 Megs RAM and a 540 Meg had drive in it regardless of the processor. Since it is going to have the DNS 128 Megs of swap is probably necessary with the cached requests setting in the machine. Any comments would be appreciated. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
