I've just installed an Asus device running OpenWRT to replace my home gateway box, and I'm very impressed. It gets full line rate on a 6190/768 ADSL line with pptp, including NAT, firewalling and IPSec tunnels. Also has two USB ports (eg for storage, etc) More good news - all of its 5 ethernet ports can be partitioned into separate logical interfaces, so you can create DMZ VLANs hanging off it. http://wiki.openwrt.org/DemilitarizedZoneHowto And thus you can also create multiple WAN interfaces. Of course, it's silent. BB -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
