So, first of all i would like to know - would it run on this platform? If it does - what is the better configuration (1 CPU or 2 CPU's , etc). It has to be our perimeter firewall - so i guess it will be pretty loaded. I've been told because of writing Snort logs to mySQL will load this machine even more - so double CPU will be needed. Has anyone running something like this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Daniel. p.s. please cc: to me - i am not subscribed to this list.
