Routing 3 /24's and a /26 using 3 3c905's. eth0 goes to the cisco->world.
eth1, eth1:0 and eth1:1 go to an ethernet switch that is serving machines
from the three /24's. eth2 goes to a hub for one of our co-location clients.
Attached is an mrtg graph from someone decided to throw about 8MB of
garbage our way for a few hours. This little linux router just sat there
and idled through it.
