I am unclear on what you are trying to do.
See my reply to Rich's message for a description.
I find the gentoo scripts good for the simple case but a complex case
almost always needs extra help.
Yep.
I was hoping that there was something that I was unaware of or could
extend to do what I want to do.
If its networking, could something like shorewall help?
No, I don't think that Shorewall or a similar firewall config management
system will help.
I also find those systems annoying. Sure, they have their benefits.
But why do I need them when I should be able to do the same thing on a
stock Gentoo (or other) Linux system? After all they are using the same
kernel. (Maybe a different version or config there of.)
I will occasionally look at those solutions and treat them like themed
Lego sets. I build them, look at them, analyze them, and pull out the
distinct Lego bricks that I want to use in my own system. }:-)
