We're tossing out our wintendo solution which has been partly based on ASP solutions, and replacing it with Linux box running samba and win-xp workstations. Filesharing is really not a big deal, and we're running on an ADSL 8000/840 line now.
I am imagining this setup:
eth0 - inet
eth1 - dmz with samba and a few network printers
eth2 - (w)lan
The point here is that most of the people using the fileserver will be at another location. For the simplicity of it these people will connect using PPTP.
Since a lot of the workstations uses WLAN I don't want them to have instant access to the fileserver either, and i'd like to force the use of PPTP on _all_ clients.
What load will 10-15 concurrent users (worst case scenario)put on the Astaro-box running on an Athlon XP2500
Will the remote workstation using PPTP be able to use their own local network (adsl/dialup) for it's regular internet access?
Is this idea generally flawed, broken by design or just stupid? ;-)
Suggestions?
Grateful for any input, and yes, I'll RTFM if I get to actually install this

tnx/
