I think the only thing slower is an AccessPro (a 2501 on an ISA card). From what I hear you need at least a 3640 or so for BGP. And you won't come close to getting even a partial feed if you have less than a /24. > yeah thats what it looks like. so hopefully i can find something > other then routed.

No it's not. But sometimes devices dedicated to a certain task (a Cisco, in this case) can do a better job at something than a general- purpose device (a PC running Linux, in this case). Oh, and I have good news: in my *limited* testing, your trick with the metrics works fine: I remotely disabled one of the internet connections at work, and the Linux firewall *automatically* switched over to use one of the other internet connections. Thanks to the magic of policy routing I sayed in contact with the firewall the whole time :) I do, however, have rp_filter turned off (ie I have "spoofprotect=no" in /etc/network/options). I'm still going to play with it some more tomorrow. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine iD8DBQE7Soyd/ZTSZFDeHPwRAhlVAKCP6Stb+lLAF7fDkjAOXulGh7R9TACeKOCG Wi6VxERBRnkXLePlZCEz1GI= =hDRx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
