Hi OpenBSD hackers, At work we have a firewall on two Dell PowerEdge 2940 servers, with 10 NIC's in use, which I want to substiute in the near future. The second machine act as cold standby.
I would like to use OpenBSD pf and carp/pfsync to make a ha firewall. I further want to use an embedded system to reduce heat and power consumption in our server room. What hardware would you suggest? Would a Soekris net6501-30 with two lan1841 be powerful enough to route and filter ip traffic for 50 clients in the LAN and 50 servers in the DMZ with a 300 Mbit uplink? Is there any other embedded system supported by OpenBSD with at least 9 gigabit ethernet network interfaces? Any octeon system available? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. best regards Waldemar
