    Bahh, run 21 separate boxes and pay the electricity bill like a man. :0


    Seriously, 350/month average, it takes juice to get that high a rank on F@H, to say nothing about being able to distribute a LC5 crack over 20 boxes means you can do a large corp AD directory pass hash in a weekend.


    I can assist with the Asterisk box though, the wifey and I have been on one thru VoicePulse for years and love it.

  • Randy,


    The various VMs are going on the box that's currently serving this site at a colo. It's a dual CPU, dual core Xeon box with 4GB of RAM and 2 x Raid1 10K RPM SAS drives.


    So I'm moving my site to MediaTemple() and bringing this beast back home to run ESXi. :) I'm going to miss running my own "production" site, and Gentoo has treated me really well, but it's time to retask.

  • welcome to the 21st century...says he whose computer is circa 1997.

  • For extra credit, add the NPS / RRAS roles and set up an SSTP server. Watch out for the CDP nitpicks (at least, that's where I ran into issues with the client did the CRL check). What's the OpenBSD box for?

    Seem you are back in to the geeky stuff full force. I am about ready to do the same thing. Once I pay the deductible for my bike and buy Christmas presents I am getting my lab up and running.

  • I like the Check Point platform, and I also wanted a solution that I didn't have to put on a dedicated box. Among those solutions I prefer Astaro by far.


    Although it's always fun to build a stock Linux or BSD box and do straight, hand-written iptables or pf. You have to do that at least once to be in the firewall geek club. :)

    Any reason for Safe@Office? I've been quite happy running Ipcop but have been thinking of trying pfSense out.

    You've got me curious as to the hardware you have available for this.... How many physical machines do you run?
