    Sun e250 with Solaris 2.7
    Raptor 6.5.3sp1
    dual 368 CPU, 512 RAM, 1024 swap, 18Gb SCSI
    two bonded t-1 lines
    
    uptime common: 0.05 0.05 0.05
    
    Enterprise VPN network is my concern, and boy am I glad I have the RAM
    (minimal) and the dual cpu's
    Actually have four of these machines. uptimes vary somewhat, mostly at
    the NOCs that run either authoritative DNS with a udp-gsp handling that,
    and web service networks with some volume.
