[SDBUG] Anyone have a rackmount server laying around?

[Ronald L. Rosson Jr.]

Have you taken a look at pfsense (http://www.pfsense.com). I have it  
running on a server with two drives running raid 1, 2 Gigs of Ram, 1  
100Megbit interface, and three gigabit interfaces. It is a pretty  
sweet setup Below is a few things I have it doing:

- Captive portal on one of the interfaces (Airport network plugged  
into here)
- Snort for detecting bad guys
- OpenVPN for raod warrior connections
- IPSEC for connecting networks via tunnels
- Pfflowd sending data to an internal server running nfsen for  
anomaly detection
- Spamd to assist the internal mail server with fighting SPAM
- Traffic shaping to keep traffic under control and allow other app  
the bandwidth when needed.

The above are to just name a few. System has been rock solid since I  
installed it.
