My apologies if this is a dumb question.

I'm trying to get a MASQ system running for a small network under RedHat
7.2. The machines are linked "inside" the MASQed network using NFS. However,
when we're trying to copy large-ish files around, we get intermittent IO
errors. I am using the "stricter" rc.firewall script from the MASQ HOWTO,
and after reading around what I can find, I started to think this was a
fragmentation problem. The NFS HOWTO suggests using the -f flag, but this
doesn't seem to be helping much.

I searched the archives and saw that the ip_always_defrag option is supposed
to be on by default in 2.4 kernels. However, I also read some posts that
suggested that things might always work in this configuration. So, my
question is, is there is a simple way to adapt the HOWTO scripts to work
nicely with NFS, or should I start looking at using a separate box as the
firewall?

TIA

Robert
