I want to be able to manage thousands of IPs. I currently need to do hundreds, but any solution I come up with needs to be able to support thousands (at least the 2k or so I have done in my test above) to make this a robust and future-proof solution. It is for setting up a NAT/firewall solution mapping from 1 internal /24 network to 1 external, public IP - times a couple of thousand. > BTW, why do you need so many IPs? I was hoping this question wouldn't get asked but thought it might... I spent *heaps* of time explaining why on the netfilter list. I completely understand both the interest in why and the misunderstanding of the situation at first glance - will "it is completely legal, and completely moral" suffice? It is "moral" unless you have a particular hate of outsourcing... This post seemed to satisfy the angry masses: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg52178.html The fact that the Linux Foundation uses an Email Service Provider to send their newsletters hopefully proves that sending emails from lots of IPs (each dedicated to a single customer, so thousands of IPs = thousands of customers) is not a nasty thing to do if done by a responsible company! Thanks for all your help!
