It must be a matter of which you learn first. I find that "hands down" OpenBSD or Linux's Kernel routing setup are extremely easy. > I need some type of "free" application to do > dynamic routing and possibly policy routing on the same box. OpenBSD! OpenBSD does some excellent prioritization queuing and routing of packets. There are even quite a few canned scripts which cover common situations (some you'll find in the man pages). > More > likely I will need to do fail over routing, as this is the main point > where I wish to implement this.

I use Linux for most of my fail-over and HA (High Availability) stuff. http://www.linux-ha.org/ Ultramonkey has a nice implementation of the LVS (Linux Virtual Server) for HA situations. In general though I script my own fail-overs http://www.trilug.org/~jonc/Failover_scripts/ > I am not > biased of using Linux over 'BSD, but I wish also to at some point place > firewall/ACL on these routers. > --chris > I think you'll find this list very helpful should you choose Linux :-) Good Luck - Jon Carnes -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
