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
