Well I figure this is a more proper way of doing things, since iptables/firewall should be on a seperate box. My only thoughs are before I begin are: I only have 1 STATIC IP. Therefore the SmoothWall will use the Static IP. The server and its 1000 and 1 settings currently set for the STATIC interface, and all server services will have to be set to work through eth1 192.168.1.2 on my server. So all services will have to be forward and work through that 192.168.1.2 address. Most services 8,22,25,53,80,110,113,143 work through eth1 currently. Running a server via a IPMASQ address, Im sure is done all the time, but its giving me second thoughs on the SmoothWall install. This could get ugly. I could paint myself into a corner far worse just having iptables not working. --------------------------------------------------------------- teddy mills http://www.vger.ca VGER directives...To collect...all that is collectable.
