      <title>Router/gateway/firewall in a virtual infrastructure</title>
      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/message/782086?tstart=0#782086</link>
      <description>I'm looking at possible candidates to act as a router/gateway/firewall in my planned virtual infrastructure. I will have a physical LAN on one side, the internet on the other, and internally a sort of DMZ for my server VMs. (See attached illustration if you don't get it. &lt;img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif" alt=";)" /&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have looked at the following so far:&lt;br /&gt;
m0n0wall&lt;br /&gt;
pfSense&lt;br /&gt;
SmoothWall Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I have been having issues with network performance in FreeBSD 6.2 I'm somewhat dubious towards m0n0wall and pfSense, but I think their base is a FreeBSD pre-6.2 so it might be ok using the vmxnet device for good performance. But my favorite so far has been SmoothWall, however I had some trouble with its DNS server/proxy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What do you use or recommend, and what makes it good?&lt;br /&gt;
