Hi, I'm currently setting up a natting router (simple setup: 1:1 for about 25 host, routing the other traffic, no filters) and got an itanium 2 box for that job. As I have no experience on using iptables on ia64, I'm looking for some advice: is it as stable and tested as on x86 or should I exchange that box and use a normal x86-system? I know there are some issues with network cards on ia64 (one of our fibre gigabit cards, doesn't get link on that ia64 box, but works fine in a x86 box...). Bye, Matthias
