Hello Marko, Perhaps look into VIA's EPIA boards. They offer a pico-ITX form factor (pretty close to the size of an audio cassette), with VGA and keyboard. Whilst not all of the features (eg. watchdog) will work, it should do for your purposes. I have used a P900 board and it seems to work fine.

mpi/mpii cards that do IR/IS or IM should do RAID 1 just fine and are supported by bioctl. You just have to purchase the card carefully and make sure it has one of those acronyms. A bit more expensive would be mfi but those are well supported. What I don't know much about but is cheap are the

Re: Hardware recommendation for firewalls (more than 4 NICs)

Thanks! Have you tried the quad nics on those Dells? We do have a couple of R200s, 860s and 850s running with 2 dual port cards no problem, but we have never tried the quad ports. Torsten Frost escribis: On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 11:47 PM, Martmn Coco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi misc, I'm

Re: Hardware recommendation for firewalls (more than 4 NICs)

First of all, thanks to all of you that have replied. I've thought of adding VLANs, and will be doing it in the future maybe, but in our current situation, that's not possible; not all the switches support this option, and there's still some concern about security implications (specially in

Re: Hardware recommendation for firewalls (more than 4 NICs)

Never done the quad in my maxchines. I havent heard anyone getting fired over it either though. A quick check on dells web indicates you have two pci-e slots in those r200s, why not get two dual nics. On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 8:28 PM, Martmn Coco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks! Have you tried

Re: Hardware recommendation for firewalls (more than 4 NICs)

I knew it was a matter of time before the vlan insecurity bullshit hit the fan. RTFA. Who says anything about blindly trusting switches? If you can't correctly configure VLANs on your switches, and filter on vlan(4) interfaces in PF, you shouldn't be administering production networks.
