That is totally up to you. If you plan to do it on one of your FreeBSD machines I believe you will need to have two NICs. At least that I believe is the easiest way to do it. There are some parameters you need in your kernel to use IPFW. Not sure if PF needs kernel changes. You very likely should be able to find previous posts and/or tutorials online with how to setup either one, IPFW or PF. I do recommend though you get yourself a good book on security so you understand all the parameters and options you are going to need to deal with. Take a look at /etc/rc.firewall. I believe they mention a book or two there that you may want to consider reading. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
