[c-nsp] RSP4 as route server? - seeking suggestions and opinions

[David Coulson]

I'm surprised it worked mid 2007 - I've certainly had no success loading 
full tables into 256Mb in the last two years without aggressive filtering.

So, my answer would be 'no'. I'd be tempted to use a Linux or BSD box if 
you just want a basic route server.
