Yup, I can definitely vouch for the Alix.
It is generally all we use for our customer deployments. We have one
client
with 40 branches all using Alix's that connect to a central alix

at
our datacentre, the branches all come down a private vpn tunnel to
establish
one big private network, all their infrastructure e.g exchange, AD,
SQL
etc
sit behind the central Alix at the colo.
So far not a single problem in over a year of operation, and not one
single
failure in hardware either....
These things just work......period!
Pfsense + Alix = Superb Solution!
great to know, as I'm planning on buying alix or soekris (better
sata and
ide support - power pins).
but what you use as disk, flash based cf disks ? I'd like to use
microdrive as disk, but I'm unable to do so in any freebsd (7.x/8).
they
just can't recognize it. openbsd does though. via mini itx and seagate
microdrive.
There this here:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Microdrive_embedded_installations
I use Alix + Flash, so I can't say if it works (wanted to do
Microdrive, but turns out I don't need it - even the Flash-version
does much more than I really need...)
I'm kidda new in pfsense for real use (though I read about it long
time
ago, but no real use yet), so how to not use all flash writes (how
much
time embedded saves flash memory) and how about all security updates
from
FreeBSD ?
That's a bit of a problem. I always re-flash to update.
But most security-vulnerabilities in FreeBSD don't concern parts that
are in pfSense.
E.g. all the local exploits don't really apply.
cheers,
Rainer
