We have about 6000 users, and the FBSD firewall never ever hiccup'ed. I could even run tcpdump for hours, and it would rarely ever drop even a single packet. What size hardware is your firewall running on to handle the potential of 6000 users accessing your internal servers for mail, etc...

I would have to guess if a hardware firewall like Watchguard that offers VPN also, that it would have to be beefer than that. Steve going back to your initial response about the PIII 800MHz network, are you using a proxy for the internal users or are they connecting directly to the firewall

If i am running raid5 on 3ware can i use the same disk array as raid5 on, for example, high point controller without rebuilding the array, just reattching disks to a new controller? Basically, i am asking if raid5 is a industrially standard or every manufacturer adds something to its specs.
