Interesting, but not what I had in mind. I'm using nat for a dmz and
rather than bring up an each available ip as an alias, I thought there
was a way to bring up the subnet and let iptables take over from there.

There are a few reasons I did it this way. I started to use shorewall
but found it more complicated to learn than the iptables scripts alone,
especially because the rules will change often, remotely, via scripts,
to manage new hosts; seemed easier just to scp an iptables script and
execute regularly with cron. Oh, I saved a lot of space not using the
shorewall.lrp too, enough to fit in sshd.lrp which is a necessity
because there is no room for a video card, only interfaces.

I guess that explains why I use the network script too, saving space on
the floppy. I think I'm going to make a basic network.sh, and scp the
larger one to the running image.

Thanks,
