Hi,

The model that we're using at H18 for a "suggested node" is:


laptop (Multiple OS, dedicated IP & DHCP, all apps work under DHCP,
        Ethernet, USB, Firewire, Wireless, etc.)

network connections
                   |
                firewall (Linux: DNS, mail, irc), no ip_forward)
                   |
                   +-------network sniffer/packet analyzer (Any OS/App)
                   |
                   +-------auth, cpu (Plan 9, not good choice for I/O)
                   |
                   +-------wireless AP (hub, DHCP srvr, firewall, nat)
                   |
                   +-------I/O, cpu (Plan 9, workstation)
                   |
                   +-------file (Plan 9)
