Looking for freebsd/openbsd Open Source project for multi-WAN load-sharing/failover firewall/internet gateway
I am looking for any open source project that can help me build manage, preferably through a GUI, a multi WAN firewall gateway to the internet, with DMZ, load-sharing, traffic bifurcation on priority/port and auto-ISP failover on any WAN link with IDS/IPS, NAT VPN features. I am not necessarily looking for a firewall distro...but various components that come together (on a minimal OS install) to build a GUI based firewall internet gateway appliance, having the multiple WAN capability. I basically want a minimalist design, which is open source, free and offers the above features. Some examples are the IPcop, m0n0wall (plus multiple WAN links) Sonicwall, Watchguard, Fortigate etc., minus their additional applications like mail anti-virus, mail servers, web-servers (except for whatever is minimal need for GUI) etc. Hope someone can suggest a good solution.

Hi, I am newbie as far as freebsd is concerned. I installed the latest version of freebsd 5.2.1 last week and to make my wireless card to work i need ndis wrapper. I searched for it on the web and found the necessary drivers. I searched for ndis on my system but it seems like its not there. Do i have rebuild the kernel with some flags to install ndis or can i just get source for ndis and install it? Any help is highly appreciated.

Installing Apache on FreeBSD 5.2.1
When I do a make install in /usr/ports/www/Apache2 directory, I get following error: apache-2.0.49 is marked as broken. apr is installed and may conflict with apache one. (if you want to use apr port, define WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS at yr own risk) I have apache 2.0.49 installed, OpenSSL 0.9.7d installed on a FreeBSD 5.2.1 release. Does anyone have any ideas what this msg means? What is the fix?

Since BSD is residing in the 3rd partition, I typed F3 and nothing happens(blank), I'll have to reboot my system. Lowell Gilbert wrote: skisen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have FreeBSD 4.5 Feb 2002.

Hang while hardware probing in 4.8
Hi, I am installing FreeBSD 4.8 on a P4 and while hardware probing it hangs. How do I find on which device it is hung on? The print out stop after displaying ppi0: generic parallel i/0 on ppbus 0 And I am quite certain that probing gets stuck on whatever the next device being probed is. Also I don't have conflicts. I am a brand new user of FreeBSD so if such issues are already documented somewhere please point me there and I will read up thanks, -- sanjay ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
