Hey, before you check out smoothwall, you'll want to read the discussion at slashdot about the firewall. it's by far the most productive discussion I've read their in weeks, with good points on all sides. If I may sum up the discussion, half of the people who want to use smoothwall have been flamed on smoothwall's IRC by lead developers for a) not being a genius b) not donating before asking an innocent question I'm all for learning to read a manual and putting up some cash for the Community, but these come across as just plain mean IMO. certainly a step down from the friendly help you get on this list =) You can read the story, related article, and comments and decide for yourself. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/01/09/2050237mode=thread one reader points to a forked project @ www.ipcop.org I've been reading about openBSD as a firewall in recent days and I've been _VERY_ impressed. they even have a section in their FAQ (www.openbsd.org/faq) about migrating from linux. with 4 years without a remote hole in the default installation, it's at least worth reading about.

[expert] Firewall for larger network?
I have played around with SNF and found it to be adequate for a small network and I currently use it at home; however, I will be looking for a larger firewall over the next few months for my work environment. We have 3 e-mail servers and 3 web servers with unique IP addresses so I will need to able to do static NAT etc. Will a future version of SNF support this? Michael Seymour
