servers: FTP, web, DNS, email, NTP, etc ... In addition for the computer
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.
