relay. ISPs filter port 25 outbound, but leave 587 open with the idea that users would have to authenticate against distant mail servers on that port. Everything works well. 587 running SMTP auth (and relaying for authenticated users) and port 25 for local (non relay) delivery without authentication should be the default on all servers. -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group

Andrew, The 32 bit counters are a significant problem when using gigabit ethernet public peering interfaces. Needless to say, MAC accounting was not designed for gigabit speeds. Frequent polling is, sadly the only solution. If you write your own scripts, make sure to account for counter wrapping.

Kim, Its terribly important that your routers' management traffic be encrypted all the way to the device. For this reason, the best practice is to use ssh2. There are some other hacks that can be used, but they are hacks, and are not scalable. Bastion hosts are a good thing and can be a great pl
