Howdy:
I need some advice.
Currently we are running Gauntlet Firewall 4.1 on a Compaq Pro Liant
2500 server. Configuration: CPU=200 Mhz, RAM=128, OS=BSDi
We have a Sun "Netra i" server that was bought about 3-4 yrs ago. The
basic configuration for the server are as follows: CPU=143MHz, RAM=64,
OS=Solaris 2.6
We would like to use the "Netra i" for our Gauntlet 4.2 Firewall.
Couple of questions:
1) Does anyone have any experience with Netra i servers? Good
experience? Bad experience?
2) Does anyone have any experience with Netra i server running Gauntlet
4.2 Firewall?
Reason we would like to move to Solaris: we are trying to implement
proxy for Oracle (SQL*Net calls) through the firewall, just like we have
our proxy setup for FTP or HTTP. According to Oracle, BSDi does not have
support for Oracle proxy. Any thoughts on that?
I was told by someone that Netra i servers are not stable and will not
be adequate for running firewall, even if we upgrade the RAM. We looked
into upgrading the CPU but Sun told us that there is no upgrade for that
CPU.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Shoeb.
