Hi gang.

I'm trying to replace our primary firewall with IPCop and am running into problems.

We have a range of external IP addresses, most of which are currently used for one or 
more services.  I've configured the aliases on the external network card (the red 
zone), but they don't seem to be responding to traffic.  If I ping the main IP 
(64.42.255.217), I get responses.  But if I ping one of the aliased IPs, I get no 
response.  This is also preventing name resolution as our primary and secondary DNS 
servers are on two of the aliased IPs.

I'm looking for ideas how to get this working.  Of course, I can turn off the new 
firewall, and reconnect the old one, so I'm not at a "network outage" type of 
situation.

I've attached a snippet from ifconfig output on IPCop's information page below.  Maybe 
it'll help identify the problem?  I have configured IPCop to forward port 53 (both tcp 
and udp) to our DNS servers and have tried using the default IP on the external NIC, 
as well as the aliased IPs (our DNS servers are 64.42.255.209 and 210).  It seems 
names are not getting resolved against these servers.  I think this is the BIG 
stumbling block for me - once I get past this, I should be able to get the other 
services working.

Oh, I have also enabled external access to the services in question, but maybe have 
done this wrong?  Do I need to allow access for each port on the default IP AND the 
aliased IP?

Any tips are appreciated.

Shawn
