it's a bit of a work-in-progress, but if anyone is interested in setting up freebsd as a bridging ipfilter firewall + pptp vpn server, in rc.diskless2 mode, along with the option of having a redundant failover machine:
http://isber.ucsb.edu/~randall/firewall/redundant/ despite the complexity at first sight, it's fairly easy to setup thanks to freebsd's including of ipfilter and ppp in the base system, along with a very easy way to setup using a solid state device as the main drive. and all the other utilities you need are in the ports tree. -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
