I use PFsense 1.2.3 in my office environment with 4 nics, 2 100 mbit
and 2 gigabit. I have different network segments and all are sharing
the same internet connection. It works great and has been online
since we moved into this new office a month ago. I also use it as a
VPN end point for when I need to troubleshoot our network and I am out
and about. It is great and can also do other office type
filtering/monitoring. It has Squid plugins, IMSPector plugins and it
also can do tcpdumps (very useful IMHO)
