Andrew, I'm currently running a combined IPv4/IPv6 router that is using NAT for IPv4 and straight routing for IPv6. I'm using Shorewall (iptables) for the IPv4 firewall and I'm using ip6tables for the IPv6 firewall (until I get Shorewall6 running) -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
