I'm in the process of configuring a Dell PowerEdge 860 as firewall and
I debating what kind of CPU to get for the firewall for an office of
about 50 people, 20MB metro ethernet, and 15 lightly used Internet

being a firewall it will also act as a NIDS and IPSEC peer (something
like 10 concurrent tunnels).
So the only processes running on-box would be pf, IPSEC, and NIDS?
What sort of NIDS?
The Celeron @2.8Ghz should be sufficient, I do not recall if the PE860
with Celeron can be upgraded to Xeon later.
