I don't know how many of you read SysAdmin (http://www.samag.com), but there is an interesting article on running IPChains at runlevel 0.
--Joe Breeden What to do... if you get a phone call from Mars: Speak slowly and be sure to enunciate your words properly. Limit your vocabulary to simple words. Try to determine if you are speaking to someone in a leadership capacity, or an ordinary citizen. if he, she or it doesn't speak English? Hang up. There's no sense in trying to learn Martian over the phone. If your Martian really had something important to say to you, he, she or it would have taken the trouble to learn the language before calling. if you get a phone call from Jupiter? Explain to your caller, politely but firmly, that being from Jupiter, he, she or it is not "life as we know it". Try to terminate the conversation as soon as possible. It will not profit you, and the charges may have been reversed. > -----Original Message----- > From: David Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2001 10:45 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: load balancing on apache by IP CHAINING > > > Servlet chaining is what the Java web server will do, and it > has nothing to > do with load balancing (that I can think of). > > ipchains is the command to enable firewall/packet > filter/packet masquerading > capability in linux.
