My understanding is FW1 does not take advantage of multiple processors.
Thus putting it on an SMP box is moot. Another FYI, I have heard the VPN
accelerator cards may not be supported under Win2k. I think they work under
NT 4.

Subject: [FW1] Sizing Recommendations
I currently have a small network with FW1 v4.1 on NT4 (25-user
version). We have used SecureRemote lightly (<5 users), and are looking at
expanding to ~100-150 clients, I'd guess we'll have 50-75 concurrent
connections (and an IKE VPN FW1-Borderware). Right now I'm on a P3-550 IBM
Netfinity w/128MB of ram, but I'm sure this will be far underpowered for
many VPN clients.
What kind of cpu/ram should I be looking for, and will multiple cpus
help? Other considerations are the VPN accelerator cards. The traffic is
client-server to a database, but is fairly light. For example, we run 14
users on a 56K line with no ill effects.
Thanks,
.. Jason Badry
