I just saw the v20z 4.8 dmesg on ajacoutot@ webpage and
noticed he was running i386 instead of 64-bit. Curious
if that is just a preference on his part or an issue
with running 64-bit O/S on the box.

We have Sunfire Ultra 40's. I recommended those based on other people
buying Sunfire Ultra 20's, V40z, etc in our place. All Ultra 40's run
fine after 4 years and its now closer to 5 years. All of them blew

The idea is to build an server with: WWW/Email/Firewall funcionalities,
with better stablity as possible.
You might want to consider separating the firewall
from everything else. What you want from a firewall machine can be
(and probably is) very different than what you want from a server.
