Hi there, visit http://www.nss.co.uk/ids/index.htm where 16 IDSs were tested... for such a big environment i would recommend to take a closer look at Enterasys Dragon and Cisco Secure IDS on the commercial side and of course Snort as Open Source candidate. In another test by I think it was Network World these three were the only ones which stayed strong in a big network with high traffic.
