Right now you can edit the firewall.conf file for Arno's Firewall from
the new web interface, but it's only editing the text file.  I'd
imagine
Lonnie's implementation would either add a new tab or button off the
network page to configure the firewall without forcing you to edit the
firewall.conf file directly.

Exactly...

Currently, without editing the firewall.conf file, users could also
add their arno shell variable definitions into their configuration via
the Network tab:

Advanced Configuration:
User System Variables: [Edit User Conf...]

But, maybe we can make this better. :-)

Looking at http://rocky.molphys.leidenuniv.nl/page/iptables/ iptframe.htm I see a few
of things that really interest me:

Multiple external (internet) interfaces
Support multiroute NAT & SNAT (load balancing over multiple (internet) interfaces)
IPSEC support (via plugins for Freeswan and Racoon)

Am I correct in inferring that, with appropriate configuration, my new AstLinux box could replace my dual WAN firewall and separate VPN appliances? I am not totally comfortable running a production service (PBX) on the firewall itself but if I could convince myself it was safe I might give it a go. And that would get around a number of NAT hacks I've had to do with my current firewall and
Asterisk 1.2 setup.

But the documentation at Arno's does not make it clear to me how one would set all that up. Is there better documentation around on how to use this firewall
than exists on that project site?

Thanks!
