Thanks to all, this is just the kind of tidbits I was looking for. And yes, it is OT but then it turns out there is some experience with this kind of problem on the Shorewall list. Which is what I was banking on. It's not going to be far on a list like this to find someone who has done a number of network basics (DHCP, DNS, CUPS) on a firewall box. It's an attractive option over having multiple machines on 24x7 for a very small network. It is ISC DHCP. Many thanks. I'll have to get more Shorewall specific questions but first I had to keep my DHCP server from self distructing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
