The CPU is not that important, unless you have large ACL lists and can't optimize them, or don't do _hard_ content filtering. I'd prefer the first configuration and it should be enough for squid and filters too. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
