Hello
Yep you may use it no problem, just don't forget to use the pae kernel to have the full 4GB support. Also filtering on layer 7 (proxy http, email filtering) with antivirus may be a bit heavy on cpu and disk usage, you should pay attention to that. IPS (snort) may be heavy with all those connections so use with care, specify the rules that are really needed if any.

I doubt you can do anything with 200.000 connections and 4Mbps connection so you should revise your numbers. For a setup like that your also should have enterprise grade hw, the price is almost the same for a

Basic Xeon
8GB ram
2x250 GB sata disk (RAID 1)
2-4 network cards enterprise level, don't use realtek chips, broadcom is not that nice either, go with intel e1000 or newer models

If you really have the numbers you described you shouldn't have a problem in setting a low end server for it.

Pedro Oliveira

Dear Sirs,

I have 8 servers (6 Linux and 2 Windows) where I have the following services:

Mail services (Approximately 9,000 email accounts)
Web hosting services (Approximately 100 Web pages)
FTP Service (Approximately 100 accounts)

In addition

4Mbps internet access
100Mbps Internal Network
We would need approximately 200,000 concurrent connections.

My question would be if the Endian FW Community could support these features.

The Endian FW Community will install it on a server with the following characteristics:

CPU Core I3
4GB RAM
500GB HDD

Thanks for your help

Regards

Jose Luis
