I am starting to put together a kit list for a new box for astaro.
It was going to be rack based but rack mount makes everything much more expensive.
Now I am going for microATX with multiport NICs.
What I am curious about is the load vs NIC count. In theory i could have 3 Quad NICs totalling in 12 + 1 onboard NIC.
Most of these would not be used for more than one PC (i.e. lots of DMZ's) but since Snort etc operate on every NIC is there anyway to estimate the required hardware.?
Anyone have any experience. Something like and Athlon XP 2200+ with 512 + 1Gb memory be enough?
I should aslo say there will be a few VPN's and every feature will be turned on. It is a home envirnoment (geek home with lots of kit but only a couple of users [;)]
Cheers
