We found that using a server as a router was not very robust. We were getting strange problems all the time. The speed wasn't that great and finally we replaced that with an off the shelf router and all the pain went away. I know this was a software / configuration problem but we couldn't get it to work well. Has anyone else encountered these sorts of issues? If so did you manage to get it working well?
- bradfitz 8y agoThat's pretty vague. A server (no details) didn't work as well as hardware (no details). Lot of missing info there.
- jlgaddis 8y ago> We found that using a server as a router was not very robust. Yet plenty of folks (myself included) have been doing exactly that for well over two decades without any major issues to speak of. You are likely correct that it was "a software / configuration problem" but the lack of any actual details or useful information makes it impossible to offer any potential insight; baseless speculation is the best you may hope to receive.
