Let's draw a list here for what you should read up on: The basics: - Firewall / NAT / Routing (iptables + routing) - Dynamic IP allocation for LAN hosts (DHCP) Medium Advanced stuff: - Name resolution of internal hosts (DNS) - HTTP proxy (squid) - Transparent HTTP proxy (squid + iptables) Very Advanced stuff: - Dynamic name update of DHCP assigned hosts: http://ops.ietf.org/dns/dynupd/secure-ddns-howto.html (I haven't tested this one yet, it may or may not work..) Network usage and compliance monitoring: - Argus - Ntop - Snort or Prelude-NIDS - MRTG - Own scripts + RRDTool This is not a complete list, but should get you started in the right direction. Remember, google is your friend (as well as http://www.tldp.org). Also, do not expect the stuff to "just work" after emerge'ing it. You will need a certain amount (actually, quite a bit in some places) of configuration / customisation before it works as what you would expected. Don't be discouraged, take it as a great opportunity to learn something new ;) -- Michael Boman Developer, Hardened Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org http://dev.gentoo.org/~mboman
