If it will be the resolver for your entire internal LAN (and the firewall itself), then it will consume more RAM and CPU than pf. Having more of both in this case is better. Again, each case is different and you should really try and see. Also, all of this might become somewhat irrelevant when (if) the mp pf patch enters base. Cheers, Giancarlo Razzolini
