All that can be done directly with iptables now and, therefore, shorewall does it too. We have left the ipvsadm and iptoip packages ... but we could remove that, you're right. -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/

As far as I now, shorewall will do portforwarding all by itself. It doesn't need ipvsadm. Am I missing something?? -- Regards Josephhttp://www.datakota.com

[Cooker-firewall] ipvsadm and iptoip packages
Hello, I have a perhaps "dumb" question : - what is the interest to have the ipvsadm and iptoip packages installed on a firewall (dependency for snf package) ? I have understood that this packages are used to create a virtual server. Thanks Marc Bethenod __ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
