The Firewall HowTo has chapters on use of both ipfwadm (kernel 2.0.x) and
ipchains (kernel 2.2.x). Find it at www.linuxdoc.org . A specialized
distribution like the Linux Router Project (LRP) system will provide you
with a lot of links to firewalling stuff (start at http://lrp.c0wz.com).
Beyond that ... you'd have to describe your requirements much more clearly
and mention what distribution and version of Linux you are using to get very
specific help.
