Re: Basic Firewall Question

Short answer yes with an If.  AFAIK Linux will treat both sides of the box labeled FW in your pretty drawing as one network, and therefore since there on the same network all its acting like is a piece of crossover cable.  Put the inside part of the linux box on a Different Subnet. Like 192.168.50.0/24 I run the same configuration.  its a bit rough but it works.  Oh yeah, and learn to love IPtables it is really necessary to forward all the traffic to your servers.       Hello Netfiler,   Can I have a firewall with the 2 nic cards on the same network. I have this set up.   <Router 192.168.1.0/24> ----- <switch>------<servers 192.168.1.0/24>   I want   <Router 192.168.1.0/24> ----- <192.168.1.0/24(eth0) FW 192.168.1.0/24(eth1)>------<switch>------<servers 192.168.1.0/24>   Is it possible?   Thanks
