The network does no recieve much traffic at all and trying to figure out hardware wise what I need the topology I have decided to go with is that each box on the network will have its own nic on the pc. Additionally, if anyone can suggest documentation on how to set this up software wise I would appreciate it. I have some experience with iptables, but an unsure exactly how I would set this up? Again any help would be appreciated. Thank you. J.
