1. Enterasys Dragon
   (according to a few tests, it has the best performance under high load)

2. Snort
   (there are front ends & support for that!)

3. Cisco Secure IDS
   (formerly known as NetRanger) if you have a lot of other Cisco stuff (PIX Firewall etc.)

Best regards,

Malte von dem Hagen
