Thank you for the replies. I figured the hardware was overkill, but
the current Linux platform runs in about 1gb of ram and I am currently
not doing any ip traffic collection. I was considering using pmacct
or ntop for that which I have been told ntop takes some resources. I
have been using Clea

Just ever so slightly.
I've used dual core Opteron with 2GB in multi gig/sec (large packet)
applications with PF.

Hi Tony,
I have a /24 public subnet for a school district running behind an old pail
of proliant dual CPU (single core) opteron box, 2GB ram each. It is
ridiculous overkill with my 100Mbit pipe and ~10,000 simultaneous sessions.
I used to run squid on it, but moved that elsewhere as it made it jus

Way, way overkill, that's closer suited to a 5 Gb connection than 5
Mb. Not that that's a problem, you can get by with a whole lot less
hardware if needed though.

I dont see any reason why PF wouldnt fit your bill. The hardware may be
slightly overkill, but so what. What are you going to do pull that aging
pIII server out of the closet dust it off and fire it up?

Hi,
I have been using a Linux distribution router/firewall for a number of
years for a small company. I have been aware of Pfsense for a few
years, but have never switched. I am now in the position that we are
going beyond a few servers and will be running web and email servers
for third parties
