[tech] hydra (uccrouter 2)

[Ian McKellar]

Hi,

I've been building the new uccrouter. Its a P90 with 4 PCI slots, so it
should be good enough for us for at least a few months :-)

Its currently got a 10M and a 100M tulip in it. When we get back the netgear
that Adrian thefted we'll have 3 interfaces in it. Nick has a spare netgear
that he has offered to sell to the UCC - I think we should take him up on 
this.

I've got the following idea for a network layout

                          [world]
                             |
                             | 10M
                             |
                          [guild]
                             |
                             | 10M
                    100M     |     100M
