Hi Mario,

you might consider the modular approach: Soekris net for
routing/firewall and VPN, and one or two bigger boxes for the rest.

Maintaining two or more boxes in different roles tends to be a lot less
stressful than having to maintain a single one in a multi-role config.
You'll have to dig deep for any benchmarks, but in a gateway role a
Soekris net5501 should do pretty well in most cases.

Powerful, indeed.  Nothing Soekris sells at the moment comes close,  
except in Ethernet port count.

IIRC, it's merely a 19" rack-mount box for their current products.

I'd look at mini-itx solutions, or even a full-size 1U solution

http://www.mini-box.com/site/index.html
http://www.logicsupply.com/

not sure what shipping to DE would be like from these companies, but  
I'm sure you can find something reasonable, or local.

Wow, if you're doing all that on one box, you probably *do* want to  
look at full-size (15" deep) solutions, depending on the size of your  
user base.

That's a more powerful appliance than is currently fielded in a soekris.

might look at asus, msi industial, advantech tyan etc.

[Soekris] Hardware recommendations

2008-08-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello List,

we are currently looking for some powerfull Hardware. It must have:
- Intel Pentium Mobile (>= 1,6GHz)
- 2,5" Hard Disk (Slot)
- Min 1GB Ram
- Min 3 Interfaces
- VGA is optional

I think i have seen such a 19" Soekris Box on the Linux days 2007. Can 
anyone point me to some products?!
We primarily need it for Proxy, Mailserver, VPN and Netfilter.

Thanks,
Mario
