Is anyone on the list running an Ultra 5 as firewall? I would like to move my
firewall from an overpowered P4-3GHz box to a Sun Ultra 5 360MHz.
My main concern is wondering if the Ultra 5 is slow enough to become a
bottleneck from one interface to another interface. However, I know some of
you run Soekris boxen and 486's for firewalls, so I may be just fine.
Any thoughts?
You'll be fine. Crazy people run Checkpoint-1 on Solaris on these
machines and filter at wire-speed.
