Hello :)
I want to set up an IP accounting box for a home network.
My idea is to install x2 quad port ethernet NICs in a Red Hat server to
compose the topology below.
Do people know of any good Linux compatible multiport NICs I can use ?
Or are there any other suggestions ?
The reason I chose this setup is to physically separate subnets, eliminate
as many bottlenecks as possible and (out of preference) to utilise all the
ports on the ADSL router.
