You should provide lots more information about your existing setup. I'll focus on DHCP. Does the DHCP server live behind the existing router/gateway? Does the office network use real, routable IPs or private ones? > it possible to set > one of the LRP dists up as a firewall only?

DHCP provides dynamic IPs, so the office computers may be changing IPs willy-nilly. DHCP clients are agnostic about the source of their DHCP services. In fact, they broadcast requests for those services to all (255.255.255.255). If one of the machines on your side of the router is providing DHCP service, the LEAF box could replace that DHCP server, or not, as you wish. If the DHCP server will be outside the router and LEAF boxes, you can use dhcrelay to pass DHCP requests and responses to the DHCP server. I can provide a copy of dhcrelay.lrp if you like, but you have bigger questions to answer before that package would be of any use to you. > isn't much mention of setting up a firewall solely in the > documentation that > I have seen, is there an example of what needs to be > configured for a LRP dist? > > > Any help is greatly appreciated, > > Cheers, > Brian -Richard _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
