        <description><![CDATA[I rely on a hardware routing solution with VPN for a retail environment.  In the event of failure of the hardware or communications services from my ISP, I set up dial-up, windows routing and a software VPN client.  This brings my environment back online while I am having the hardware and/or communications repaired/replaced.  Granted, windows routing is not sufficient for long term use, but in an emergency, it works.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[WHy use the most hacked, most vulnerable, Voted Most Likely To Be Compromised (MLTBC) OS as a router when a LINUX or BSD solution is essentially the same but at lower costs, with a higher ROI and a better out of box (and, let's face it, after proper configuration UNIX systems are still more secure) security? Also, it does nothing to compromise the server functions that- given the aforementioned situation of a small company with limited resources- is probably near overtaxing anyway?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Why would any sane network admin take that kind of risk?  As others have pointed out, there are cheaper and more secure alternatives.  I am not a Microsoft basher - I use Microsoft products every day, and in the right situation, I am quite happy with them.  It comes down to using the right tool for the right job; don't use your stapler to hammer a nail when you can use your hammer.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm sorry to disagree but an old PC and a copy of linux doesn't require a lot of money. Have a look at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/ and http://xcssa.org/files/firewall-notes.html and you can see the diversity. I have used RRAS back on an NT4 server, I wouldn't do it again. I am currently looking at Smoothwall after a friend gave it a really good rave http://smoothwall.org/get/ My two cents worth]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The use of Server 2003 for a router has very limited uses, or situations that make sense to use it.The one situation that I come across most often is when I'm working with a small business that doesn't have the money for another machine(plus all the CALs) or a Cisco router, but is using a hardware firewall. In that situation, the server software that is already paid for can work quite well as their router on a small network.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/85-180496-1839619]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[OK. First, this is hardly new. Routing has been around since NT 3.51Which begs the question, Why isn't it prevalent in use?Because, it is an extremely expensive router (just the OS alone costs more than many routers nowadays, then add multiple NICs). Also, Don't we already have severe problems with W2K and 2003 and security? And you want to extend this to your routing infrastrucure?Buy a CISCO or other device and be done with it, or use LINUX if you must have a computer doing it.]]></description>
