Hi,
Please excuse my long list of queries and mail. We are trying to
evaluate Endian for a reasonable sized network as follows:
External
l-------Mailserver
LL access
----Router------------EFW---------------------l-------Webserver
2Mbps Red Green l--------ftp
server
Ext_IP 172.16.0.0/12
For Green side dhcp domain, proxy (smtp and web) is running. We have
one internal DNS (Green side) named server inside our network after
Green. EFW is the latest rc8 and machine is with 2 GB RAM and 80GB
SCSI. Now if we have 1000+ users behind the firewall then:
1. What is the optimum size of Cache should be configured (RAM and
HDD)?
2. When we configure EFW then initially there are more than 90% misses,
so how to build the cache for DNS quickly if it is cahing DNS (through
dns masquerade)?
3. Suppose we configure EFW proxy this evening next morning looks like
it gets flushed automatically? Is there any configuration way by which
it does not happen?
4. At present if we wish to access EFW then only way to do it through
web interface. If I need to do ssh to any of the internl machines then
I will have to port forward for ssh. Is there anyway by which we can
ssh to Green side of EFW and then from CLI there we can ssh to other
machines (we tried through web interface for port forwarding rules but
it does not permit port forwarding at the Green interface)?
5. Can we do any load balancing through multiple RED interfaces?
5. Can we configure multiple GREEN interfaces?
Thanks in advance
