that would be me who made the comment =].
netgear routers are really nice... i run a fr114p at work. i also run an
asante at home, but it's old (4+years) and not very configurable,
meanwhile the netgear does syslog, emails you alerts, is a print server,
logging, distributed computing (requests to a specific port go to a
specific machine), block sites (i've blocked doubleclick and several
others). tons more, i've just been peeking.
Send E-Mail alerts immediately
If a DoS attack is detected.
If a Port Scan is detected.
If someone attempts to access a blocked site.
so, there you go.
alot of the newer ones also have really nice dns/dhcp services, naming
your systems based upon mac address.
hell, you may be able to find one that does traffic shaping too (for them
all to connect to), that'll make things even easier for you.
