Jason,
For Vyatta questions, it's best directed to their forum at
http://vyatta.org/forum. Their site also has excellent documentation on basic
set up, which is found at http://vyatta.org/documentation.
I have a very similar set up as yours, Comcast business and Vyatta Community
Edition with three nics - WAN, LAN, and DMZ. To set up Vyatta so that you can
access internal servers from external sources, you would need to set up
destination NAT's. You would then create firewall rules to allow specific
destination ports into your network. With Vyatta for incoming traffic, DNAT is
first performed before going to the firewall, that's why you see the internal
IP address in the firewall rule and not external IP address.
Here is a sample DNAT rule for SMTP to my mail server:
rule 200 {
description "DNAT TCP connection from WAN to mail server"
destination {
address 123.123.123.100
port 25
}
inbound-interface eth0
inside-address {
address 10.10.10.10
}
protocol tcp
type destination
}
Here is a sample firewall rule for SMTP to my mail server:
rule 500 {
action accept
description "accept tcp port from WAN to alpha"
destination {
address 10.10.10.10
port 25
}
protocol tcp
source {
address 0.0.0.0/0
}
}
My cpu isn't all that powerful, but it serves my network well. If you have low
traffic volume, your P3/P4's should be sufficient.

Again, vyatta.org is the best place to get the information you need.

Subject: [CentOS] More about firewalling
Hi All,
So before when I used PIX's for my employer, our traffic was
statically routed to one IP and then the firewall decided if allowed/
denied and passed it on or dropped it.
I have a Comcast business circuit with 13 IP's. The gateway device
they provide is a 'pass through' device. They sent traffic for all 13
IP's my way. It just allows traffic through. So if I put in a device
to firewall (like Ipcop or Vyatta or something) in front, say it has 3
NICS, how do I do that?
If the Firewall has IP A and Traffic for IP B comes in how would IP A
answer and decide if the traffic to IP B belonged? Without statically
routing I am confused on how to accomplish this?
How fast does this device need to be?
Best,
-Jason
