If you set the firewall up as a bridge using 2 interfaces (no IP addresses) and have a third for the management interface (with an IP address), the students will never be able to see the firewall. Nothing for them to hack at. We're running that configuration for an entire campus.

Is there a performance advantage to setting up a routing firewall vs. a bridging firewall with ipfilter? Thanks, Dwight Hutson
