Does anyone have experience, or knows about in using a PC and Linux as a high speed router? I currently have a situation where I have about 230 nodes on a switched network using a single class C address. I am going to have to add about 24 more nodes in the next couple months which will use all of my available addresses. I also don't really want a switched network that large. I'm currently thinking about using a small Linux distro, about a 1 gigahertz PC, and gigabit NIC's. I would like to use a small distro that is current (not LRP) and easy to manage. If it can gather stats and stuff that would be cool too. I would also like to be able to expand the router to 4 NIC's in the future. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks Jim Streit
