As soon as I'm able to get DSL, I'll be setting up a DMZ for my servers. A question: what are the pros and cons of using a third NIC on my Oxygen box for a DMZ to setting up a second Oxygen box and having both internal and external firewalls? Beside the fact that having two firewalls for a home network would be overkill... :) I haven't upgraded to the recent Oxygen yet (.8 I think? Maybe x.8 --- I don't remember), and I'm using Seawall for my firewall rules. Seawall has built-in support for DMZ networks, so it would (should, anyway) be fairly trivial to set up a DMZ on a third NIC. At some point in time, I'll also be upgrading to a 2.4.x kernel and using either Shorewall or Openwall. While I'm asking, has anyone tried a halted firewall with a LEAF distro? It's a cool concept: http://www.samag.com/print/documentID=20294 _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
