Hi,
I am planning to build a firewall (a screened subnet). The bastion
will serve proxy telnet and ftp (maybe some other protocols like
mosiac, www, etc. in the future). There will be two primary nameservers,
one that is seen by the outside world and the other serves the local
network. Both name servers are forwarders to one and the other.
NNTP will be forwarded directly to the local network, since this is
a dedicated connection between our server and an outside server.
mail should be forwarded via some proxy mail to the inside world.
With two dedicated routers, i believe the traffic load does not affect them
(since we have a 256kbps line to the outside world). But how about the load
on the bastion? Based on what software (SOCKS, SEAL, etc.), how many
connections are simultaneously possible such that the response is
acceceptable?
Frank.
