Hi, I have a couple of old machines that I will be installing Debian on them. I would like to dedicate one of the machines to a firewall, and the other machine to a mail server. I have a dsl line with a static IP (with the router acting as a firewall) and several other debian machines that will sit behind my firewall along with my mail server. I have several questions regarding this:
1. Is it best to not have the firewall doing anything else, i.e. acting as a web and/or mail server, and instead use a different machine for the mail server? 2. Occasionally, I would like to ssh into my network from work. Is it best to only open up the port on the firewall or do some port forwarding so that ssh connections automatically go to a different (non-firewall) machine? 3. I have been perusing different howtos on various networking setups mail server, etc. but am always looking for a must read site, book, etc. Anyone have any good suggestions?
