Depends on your throughput per interface. I've got Sun E250's with a
single 400Mhz CPU with 13 100Mbps interfaces (max you can get on this box)
and it works fine. However I'm under 50Mbps total for all the interfaces.
If you want a lot of total throughput, you better look into some kind of
software load balancing (Rainfinity or Stonesoft) since hardware
solutions are going to be really really expensive for that many
interfaces.
