Suresh, I set up a similar configuration a while ago. After running into a variety of problems, I posted my solution here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-firewall/2001/debian-firewall-200105/msg00080.html Since your DMZ addresses are part of the same subnet from your ISP as your "external" address, you have to use something like proxy ARP to help the firewall box know where the DMZ addresses are. There are also other alternatives that I outline in the posting above. HTH Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
