Routing 3 /24's and a /26 using 3 3c905's. eth0 goes to the cisco->world. eth1, eth1:0 and eth1:1 go to an ethernet switch that is serving machines from the three /24's. eth2 goes to a hub for one of our co-location clients. Attached is an mrtg graph from someone decided to throw about 8MB of garbage our way for a few hours. This little linux router just sat there and idled through it.

Other lessons learned, Linux won't route between multiple NICs, using multiple aliases, even with ip-forwarding enabled.
Someone needs to tell one of our routers this. It has been routing between multiple NICs for well over a year without any problem.
In that case, I would dearly love to hear how it was done.
