Re: Platform for reverse proxy server appliance

["Shaf Ali" <shaf@xxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm competition ;)

My system is built round the Lex system fanless and silent.... The Soekris
boards do not have the power.

Everything is built onto a 128Meg piece of compact flash and has been
running solid for over a year (recovers upon power failures).... System
does
: x10 control , xap, voice recognition, event triggers, proxy server,
router
for VLAN's and LAN's... Control is via a web interface and wap.
