      Situation is as follows. The question has been asked here to bundle up to 5 WAN connections into PfSense (with the basic filtering etc) and have effective load balancing between them.

      Does PfSense have any limit towards then number of possible gateways / WAN connections?
      Is this something that will be 'stable' (theoretically..).

      We normally use Atom based systems with 4GB of memory and a normal disk (SSD tend to shred with logging enabled). Will this pull 5 WAN connections or will we have to go a bit deeper as usual.
      Basic Squid / squidguard / lightsquid / pfblocker and maybe snort. No VPN or insane amount of firewall rules.

      Any advice.
