Multiple NICs RRAS router 1

[iolair]

Is it possible to install four or five NICs in a server and use RRAS and NAT to provide routing for a network with three or four subnets without having to buy a router from Brocade, Cisco, etc.?

I'm using it with two NICs now, and it works great, wasn't sure if Windows Server could handle more interfaces. TIA

yes it can. The RRAS component stands for Routing and Remote Access Server. It can function as a full blowwn router.
