Hi!

We are planning on using TIS on a Linux bastion-host as the firewall. 
Is there anyone who knows if it's possible to tune the Linux-kernel to give the 
routing-process higher priority to speed up the routing?

Speed up the routing? Not really, but there are delays before the machine 
actually begins to route and that is what we are trying to minimize!
Why not using a screening-router? Or idea' is to build a firewall which is 
really cheap but as good as any commercial firewall.
