      Hello to everybody.
      I have been using for some month a pfsense 2.0. To reduce the cost I'm looking for a multi LAN hardware solution (10 NIC is enough).
      In the past I used the 1U Intel server with multi lan controller, but it is an expensive solution.
      The other feature looked for, is an appropriated feature of CPU, for example Intel ATOM or similar. The best solution is a 1U server rackmount
      I found the http://www.applianceshop.eu, but the nic isn't enough for my project and the CPU isn't appropriate.
      Do you know the other solution?

      Any news or link is welcome.

      best regard
      Alex

        10 interfaces would be unusual. I have 10 interfaces on my box but one of them is wireless and I waited a while for one to appear on eBay.
        The normal way to do a large number of interfaces is using VLANs.

          Dear Steve,
          thanks for your idea, but in this case I don't have any switch supporting VLANs.
          But in the Italian pfSense forum I found: www.firewallhardware.it and in paticular:
          http://www.firewallhardware.it/appliance_utm_evoluto.html
          Do anybody know this appliance?
