Anyway I have decided on this: Atom 1.8GHz, 3 x Intel 82583V Gigabit NICs. http://www.commell.com.tw/product/SBC/LE-376.HTM
3 of them, to replace the geodes. I have an 8 core Xeon to replace the Pentium 4 with also. Then I certainly should get the 100Mbps throughput and not need to upgrade hardware for the next few years! :-) On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 04:51:40PM +1000, David Diggles wrote: > Looks decent, but I'm looking for something fanless to replace > the 3 fanless geodes currently in use. > > To put it all in better context, here is the current setup: > > [ ==== denotes default inbound redirection of trafic, "dmz server" ] > > internet +----OpenBSD---+ > (30/1M pppoe)--| geode 300Mhz |---(802.11g) > +-------+------+ . +----OpenBSD------+ > || . . . .| Atom Netbook | > (100M switch) |trunk0 wired/wifi| > || +-----------------+ > +--+------------------++=======+-------OpenBSD-------+ > | | | P4 2.4Ghz | > | | +---OpenBSD----+ | transparent squid | > | | | geode 300Mhz | | samba, rsync backup | > | +--|carp0 carp1|-----+ | sendmail mx, spamd | > | +------+-------+ | +----+----------------+ > | | | | > | (pfsync) (Gigabit switch) > | | | | > | +---OpenBSD----+ | . \ > | | geode 300Mhz | | / .---------------+ > +-----|carp0 carp1|-----+ | office environment| > +-------+------+ | mac, printer, etc | > +-------------------+ > > On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 01:11:40PM +0800, Justin Jereza wrote: > > > I'm not expert here but atoms from supermicro are nice, > > > you get IPMI too.
