Let me ask you guys something...

I need a no-fan, low power machine to act as my firewall/router. Right
now it needs two wired NICs, one 100mbit to the cablemodem and one 1gbit
to the LAN. I may need a couple more for things like wifi and DMZ.

I use pf on OpenBSD as shown here:

1: Has anyone gotten OpenBSD to run on a Raspberry Pi?

2: Any ideas how to hang several gigabit ethernets off a Raspberry Pi?
   I know I could use USB Ethernet adapters, but those doesn't provide
   the necessary throughput, especially for the wired LAN

Firewalls run 24/7. Can you imagine how cool it would be to have a $35,
fanless, silent, tiny firewall/router?

Thanks
