<br><div><div>Hi All,</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have strong opinions regarding hardware? I am currently running FreeS/WAN on a very old odd-ball box with around 20 site-to-site (lan-2-lan) tunnels. We will not be going over 50 tunnels for the foreseeable future. Very soon we will be upgrading to a 5 Mbps dedicated Internet link. The new Openswan box will not be providing any firewall services... strictly VPN gateway. We plan on going with SuSE.</div>
<div><br></div><div> * CPUs (more cores versus faster cores? x86 versus x86_64?)</div><div> * NICs (onboard versus card? brands?)</div><div> * Other considerations?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance!</div>
