iptables throughput



Does anyone have any experience using linux/iptables to do high
throughput packet filtering (including connection tracking) plus NAT for
1000+ clients up to (and perhaps beyond) DS3 speeds?  I'd like to throw
some traffic control into the mix as well.

I would guess a good mobo built on, say, an Intel E7500 chipset w/ a
couple of Gb NIC's would cut the mustard.  Can anyone comment on the
viability of such a venture?
