Thanks for your reply, i'll look at your Trinity page when I have more time,
I did peek at it, it's huge:)
A couple follow up questions if you would
What's involved with adding a second NIC to the linux box? Assuming both
cards are PCI PnP cards will I have to worry about irq's? Also, do I have
to give th elinux box 2 ip's? (one for each card)
It seems redhat 5.1 can do the masq stuff without rebuilding the kernal, I
played with the ipfwadm last night and was able get get it working although
it was painfully slow (using just the one NIC).
Lastly, why do some things like quake, ftp, irc have modules but others like
telnet, http, etc. don't?
thanks,
Bill
