hi, I am having 512 Mbps bandwidth. Users are mainly browsing Web and using email facility. I am using squid for cache. I have about 10 % cache so i think total upper bandwidth availability will be aroung 600 Kbps. Bandwidthwise there is no problem. My worry is if iptables processing for 400 users with various acl s should not slow down firwall processing due to hardware configuration. Thanks for support. --- Jose Maria Lopez <jkerouac@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > El jue, 14 de 10 de 2004 a las 09:46, ads nat > escribió: > > Hi, > > My Redhat linux 9.0 gateway server is with > iptables > > firewall.
