This is what I did in my own custom setup. Call the script once at boot time to set up forwarding, and then again whenever the IP changes on the interface. > I'd say that this script needs to be broken into two pieces - one that > sets up forwarding and one that sets up masquerading. That's not a bad idea; the rules could be broken out into sub-chains which can be flushed and rewritten when an IP changes, while the parent chains retain their configurations loaded at boot time. In my own opinion, reloading the entire set of chains is not a major performance hit, which is why I never implemented it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fuzzy Fox) || "Good judgment comes from experience. sometimes known as David DeSimone || Experience comes from bad judgment." _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
