Well it s not on a soekris if that is what you are asking. The one
piece I left out was the CPU. It is a Hyper-threaded 3.0G P4. The
bandwidth it is handling at the moment is a DSL link but I would
definitely a production based installation. This is not my server. I
am running a practically a barebones version of pfsense on my
Soekris4801-60 with a hard drive.
Have not ran an iperf test on it. If you are interested I will see
what I can do between 2 interfaces.

P.S. The IDS is only watching the WAN link.
