Put the access servers in a private network and an OpenBSD box in

front.  We use such a setup for the ports.openbsd.org machines.

There is a little Soekris that can be accessed by ssh and that runs

ports/comms/conserver, and on a separate interface it is connected

to an access server.
Alternatively, you can put puc(4) cards into an OpenBSD box or hook

up a tangle of ucom(4) adapters to a tree of powered USB hubs.
