Welp, being the silent type I never usually speak, however the company I
work for has elected me to take care of security issues since the admin
left. Currently we are on a T3 with about 1500 users and using a 486 dx4
100 running linux as a packet filter outside the router. It sems though,
that this configuration is placing a strenuous bottle-neck on the network
and users aren't getting the speed or access times they deserve. My
question is, basically a general one. Where can one find resources on the
best types of firewalls, setup, thoery and the likes on both the net and
normal literature. Also, if anyone would be willing to give a bit of advice
on the CURRENT packet filter we have, it would be much appreciated.
