Robert, I have been using gshield for a couple of years now and I really like it. It has an easy to understand config file that will give you the options you are looking for. There is a seperate script for creating forwarding rules, gforward.pl, from the web site. Take a little time to read the docs and it should be clear. The web site has all the good detail. http://muse.linuxmafia.org/gshield.html It is packaged in Debian testing at gshield_2.8-10_i386.deb. For me, it went right into my stable machines with no problems. There are several other packages around so don't be afriad to try several a find the one that fits you. -- Bill
