Cons: 1- the "front" linux will be exposed directly to the internet. 2- the "front" linux will have to be online all the time in order to provide service for the "back" linux. 3- More complicated security & network administration. Pros: 1- You're having realy heavy P2P traffic and require a strong machine (than ECI 312+) to handle the routing tables. (Yet, for my parents, the same ADSL hardware is sufficient for bittorrent traffic) 2- You want *real* control over every parameter in your router and the black box supplied by ECI does not provide that. Anyway, to your question, check out the "Linux IP Masquerade Howto" http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ Fedora might have some bundled tools to assist you applying such a configuration, but this document will provide you with the basics on what needs to be done, why & how. - Noam
