: have theat situation : : mdk-box 8.2 on internet : mdk-box 8.2 workstation : mdk-box 8.2 workstation : rh-8.0 workstation Since you have 4 boxes. Maybe it is easier for you to create a /etc/hosts file for the the 4 boxes. Likewise it would be easier for you to assign static IP to the 4 boxes instead of using DHCP. You save some $ on electricity with that too ;) : now the first mdk-box will be settet up as a firewall- and : masquerade-box : : for an efficient operating I should install a DNS-System for my : local-network. so far so good, but whichone of the above mentioned boxes : should be configured as the DNS-Server ? and whichone should be the the : 2nd DNS-server ? If you still want to setup DNS and DHCP. I would recommend you put them on a different box from your firewall box. So people cannot use DNS or DHCP ports to hack your firwall. If one box is compromised they still have to hack the other box. Theoretically, you should have a dedicated box for firewall alone. Regards, Norman
