you can deploy routeros on any x86 hardware even a VM. I'm using an old Watchguard X series (since 1200 mhz celeron)> I've also had routeros working on the E series as well (also 1200mhz celeron). and folks were able to use the XTM5 series too. these are available on ebay.

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hi Rob (and Others) Yes I saw what Marius Posted and it is excellent solution ..... BUT.... it was done on Professional Router Unfortunately i cant hold my hand on Microtik here I have to order it from abroad so The router i must pay for it and the delivery is expensive But all the Firm here have Cisco and it is more easy for me to get Cisco But I think I can get microtik home router (the cheeps one that cost 30 dollar or so) in the Computer shops that are the router i meant for while asking if a home router can work ...
As for PC we will need PC for other tasks (one will be Network monitoring (with whatsup-gold or other kind like programs) so PC is not a problem but i prefer it will not be for the routing task
In fact i got a donation of a server (probably more powerfull then the Proliant you mentioned you have) so i hope it will be the one and maybe this server will take care of all what we need (include making the Update to the routers if we still use routers) 73's Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org
Look what Marius posted yesterday. He has made a script for MikroTik routers that updates the configuration using the AMPR RIP transmissions! This is a very nice solution because it will receive all current routes automatically without requiring an external computer.
MikroTik routers are very versatile. They can run user-written programs (scripts) to do things like this. I have a MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD here, which would classify as a home router. It has 128MB RAM and 128MB flash which is more than enough for this purpose. I paid 125 euro for this nice box.
