Ooooh, neat. Doesn't appear to be in Debian and is a bit of a PITA to
build, but certainly an interesting starting point.

*Don't* buy a D-Link 580. I've tried these in several different machines
and they have a tendancy to die under high loads or sometimes even just
with low loads. I gave up and went for the Intel cards, which are
expensive but work well. The D-Link 570 is a different chipset than the
580, so it might well be ok - I've never used one.

Yes, Debian & Zebra might a fine option for bgp routing. The only
problem comes if you want to shift more traffic than the PC
architecture can deal with. You might also want to take a look at
Quagga, which is a more actively maintained Zebra fork. It's available
as a Debian package in unstable, I've no idea how easily it'll backport
to stable though.

I had a machine with a 2940 lock up after a fair few SCSI bus resets. I
compiled up the latest 2.2.17 pre release which has the latest driver in
it and turned off tagged command queuing and haven't seen a problem
since.

Analog for text stats that you can email to people, Webalyzer for pretty
graphical stats that you can put up on the web. We use both.
