The machine's high availability features (specifically the RSC) and the fair amount of CPU power make it ideal as a services machine.

Description

Paul Gargan (gliceas@rb) kindly donated this machine to RedBrick during 2007. It initially ran Solaris 10, but we encountered so many problems with this that we gave up and put Debian on it. Debian ran perfectly on the sun4u architecture. A while later we decided that Cynic should be the firewall/services machine for the VM network, and that it should run OpenBSD.

The machine's high availability features (specifically the RSC) and the fair amount of CPU power make it ideal for some sort of important position on the network.

Services

  • DNS
  • Squid
  • Various firewall-related things
