NetBSD + npf for main Internet-facing firewall?

[U'll Be King Of The Stars <ullbeking%andrewnesbit.org@localhost>]

Hi all,

I'm considering running NetBSD on Supermicro A1SRi-2758F server for my
Internet-facing firewall and main switch.  I love this server for home
servers because it's so quiet, and has many other suitable attributes.

My plan is to run npf as the main firewall, and to use this machine as
the primary switch.

The funny thing is that I've noticed that not many NetBSD users openly
discuss using npf for this purpose.  This would seem a natural use case
to me.  (I should remember to follow my own rules and never make
assumptions.)

It seems like a natural thing for fellow users to do.  But are my
assumptions a bit off?

Kind regards,

Andrew
