Well, not a small order for sure, but to sustain 1000 Mbit throughput on

two interface, I would suggest first to find a way to make sure PF will

be able to do this! So, if your business can do this and have that much

bandwidth and needs like that, then I may be wrong and I apologies in

advance if I am, but I would suggest then to help with the request that

just came up on your screen as well not to long ago to make sure your

boxes would do what you want.
Meaning, can't you help with this one for your own benefit?

I am sure that if your business really need that and you show this to

your boss, may be they will see the light and help achieve this.
Look to me that you want to do exactly what this request try to fix.
