Goodday,
Looking to manage several webservers I am wondering if anybody uses
something like this: http://soekris.kd85.com/images/tn/dsc03600.med.jpg ?
(That image shows Wim's net4801-50 plus quadport lan1641 firewall box,
giving 7 ports with low powerconsumption - on OpenBSD)
The standard choice in my datacenter (linux users mostly) seems to be HP
Procurve but I'd prefer the power of PF.
I have no idea how rigid /stable/fast the Soekris machines are, I've
never used one.
I'm wondering if a setup as mentioned could (speedwise) compete and if
it is a sane idea to deploy something like this in the DC.
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.
Matt
