  Why are you wasting Quad Xeon processors on an OpenBSD box? OpenBSD has always had poor dual processor support, and the performance boost drops even further when you go to 4 processors.
  
  Are you sure these boxes weren't running FreeBSD?

Take a look at emBSD at 32 meg it's small and secure (OS is on flash memory). Most inportantly it does one job, routing and firewall duties, and it does it well. http://embsd.suspicious.org/
