I still remember when I configure Redhat 9.0 with 3 ethernet cards,
vmware (with 2/3 virtual ethernet device names), and OpenVPN tap device
name, the entire network access to the Redhat becomes very fluctuated.
What I meant of "fluctation" is that the network (from Internet) to the
Redhat box sometimes ok sometimes not available. After changed to
FreeBSD with the same network setup, I never encountered a problem like
this. The external firwall setting remained unchange thru out the test.
