I'm thinking of setting up a transparent bridge to a bring together all our facilites. Mainly so our new network storage can be assessible without having to duplicate data all over the place. Those 720p and 1080p videos can get out of hand.

So my initial thought was to turn to old faithful DD-WRT and see what it has, and found this.

Anyone have any experience or used another setup with free/open source software? We have several extra server floating around I can dedicate to this, and that would save me $50 buying new routers for DD-WRT.

I've done this and it works ok but pfsense on a low power (like an atom or something) box is much better
