Be aware that firewalling multiple static IP addresses is somewhat more complicated than masquerading behind a single static IP address. (See Proxy-ARP or Static NAT in the Shorewall documentation at http://www.shorewall.net). I did proxyarp with kernel 2.2, and from the look of the documentation Shorewall/kernel 2.4 makes this job a lot easier than it used to be, but I haven't used it recently. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
