Why not just use iptables on the machine running sendmail and sshd? That should be just as effective at dropping packets or rejecting connections.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -s ! 1.2.3.4/16

Or something to that effect.

I have a linksys linux router and has everthing all the function I want almost.

What is does not seem to have is the ability to drop connection on a port if it does not come from a specific range of address.

Specifically , I would like to forward sendmail and and sshd only if they come from specific address ranges.

Is there any way to do this using the linksys firmware or do I have to load a new firmware.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
