Thinking of running a FreeBSD firewall with IPFW2, dualcore dual opterons...

Anyone have any experience running a box like this as a firewall? We want to create a centrally managed firewall without the use of an expensive piece of Cisco hardware.

Our network consists of mostly large movie files between 10megs and 1gig.

The network will get very busy at times. Mainly because of hosted galleries.

Just curious if any of the programs out there use a similar type of firewall. Or any firewall at all.

Please discuss.

thanks,
marc
