Re: [LUAU] VPN

Anyone know if FreeBSD's NATd is considered a Network Address and Port 
Translation device (NAPT). - I believe NAPT is different than NAT because it 
translates the port as well. I know IPFilter and NATd allows for port 
redirects, does that count? -dosen't sound like.
OR know of any good ports that does NAPT?

-multiple VPN clients from same IP-
Surfed the net like a mutha and i think i got some ideas to make this work.

Thanks.

[LUAU] EMail Server Limits

2004-05-29 Thread Maddog
Does anyone here know if any linux based email servers are limited in the size 
of their dbs? 

My Exchange Server has a 16 GB limit and it was reached today and crashed the 
server. I have been trying to get these guys to buy me a server I can run 
Debian + Exim + Squirrelmail on without any luck. Will that combination crap 
out when the DB swells? 

And don't ask about the size. I have told them several times about saving out 
their emails but they insist they need access to 7 years of mail. Since THEY 
sign my checks I don't argue.

Thanks,
Maddog

Nice to know people are still using FreeBSD. You might consider
joining freebsd-questions. It is high traffic, but you can snarf
good clues once in a while.

Did you try the man pages?

man natd# search for -redirect_address
man 5 ipnat # search for bimap

What DB? Mail is usually stored as a file or a series of
files. The limits are based on how large a file can grow on a
filesystem.

Offload the old mail to PSTs.

The problem with the PST's is that they cannot access those emails from the
web. In Microhard Exchange the Files are stored as a db using the MSDE or
Microsoft Desktop Engine which is sort of a combination of SQL Server and
Access.

Anyways, If the file system is the limit on the email server i would be fine
but Exchange 2000 Standard edition has a 16 GB limit on the size of the
files.

My comment on files was in reference to *nix, open-source mail
systems. There should be some that store mail as some sort of DB,
but I cannot think of any right now.

Yes, actually. 
But I was just wondering if port translation is the same as port
redirection.
Is it safe to say that the nat daemon does port translation as well as
address.
If so then NAT = NAPT. Wonder why lots of ppl use it in different context.
Thanks.

$50-$75 was acceptable in most cases so far.  We'll be at McKinley each
