said by Ott_Cable :>I was thinking about using pfsense. The reason why I wanted a Linux box is
PFsense is Free BSD based. It isn't running Linux unless you mean unix-ish.
One could use VLAN in a managed switch (or the cheapest router with DD-WRT to get at the VLAN setting) instead of multiple Ethernet interfaces.
My mistake I guess - I was under the impression that there was a Linux version as well. Oh well, like I said - I'm still looking into this. I have nothing against FreeBSD, but would have preferred Linux for this.
I've explored the DDWRT option and it will work, but I want something a bit more expandable/configurable.
