You can do this by using VMware. Just to be careful, pay really close attention on the amount of processor power and ram you have.

Can you please be more specific:
- What is the mane OS ? Is it Windows ?
- What is the VMware you use ? Is it Microsoft VM
- What is your recommendation for CPU and RAM ?
- Did you use this machine in real environment ?
- What is the amount of your traffic ?
- What is the number of your concurrent users ?

Many thanks

Fedora and MT

- What is the VMware you use ? Is it Microsoft VM
VMware

- What is your recommendation for CPU and RAM ?
I would recommend a dual core processor in the manor (2GHz+). The dual core process will help with VMware and fedora, but secondary core will not be utilized in MT.
2GB+ RAM

- Did you use this machine in real environment ?
Yes (also tested with gaming users)

- What is the amount of your traffic ?
5MB-10MB/2MB-7MB of Traffic per second

- What is the number of your concurrent users ?
~400

Installation RouterOs + fedora Core 5
You will need to run two virtual machines. One with RouterOS and One with Fedora Core. This can all be done a single machine.

If you search online search for preloaded Fedora core appliances. The are free and save you the time configuring it and setting it up. You can download a preloaded VMware appliance with Squid preloaded from http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/57

Then after you got that running create another additional virtual machine and load it use pxe if possible and then use netinstall to install it onto the virtual machine.

Hopefully this helps some.

If you have 8 ether ports in the machine, you can assign each to which ever partition/VM that you wish? Can you assign CPU affinity, etc also?

Well you can assign nics to the VM machine you want. When it comes to the CPU affinity you are going to set that in windows on the VM software.
