I have a couple of questions that I would love to see if anyone can answer...Answer any or all of them...
 
Configuration:
I'm Running Stock RH 8.0 (Fresh install) on an X86 system. 
(2) NIC cards one attached to hub with cable modem and D-Link Router, other connected to switch and internal net.
I have 2 seperate IPs from my provider, one goes to the Router, the other to the RH box. (68.x.x.10, 68.x.x.11)
Then...I have the router and the RH box both pluged back into a shared switch that serves the internal network(192.168.100.*)
 
Here are the questions:
 
1) First, I have NAT running on the router, but I want it on the Linux box as well.  How do I start NAT on the RH box.  I'm running the stock firewall...Lokkit I think.
2) I get lots of "Martian Headers" which I believe is caused by the network setup, but I don't know what I'm doing that is out of spec.  Every client has the router as it's gateway; the router has a DHCP provided Gateway; the RH box has a dhcp provided gateway and address.
3) On occasion, I would proxy from the RH box via Squid (that is running on that system) and configure the D-link router, this works most of the time, but once in a while, when I do this, the switch or router would lock up and I'd have to reset everything.  I thought that this might be caused by some type of IP violation like, packets getting bounced back and forth from the router to the RH box, or something...but I don't know enough about networking to find out where I'm going wrong.
4) How can I get RH to boot to text mode? 
5) I have ddclient 2.6.1 running on the system, but for some reason it's spamming my DynDns provider.  It doesn't seem to be checking the cache file before updating my provider.
 
Thanks for the help.
