RE: [Plug] Firewalls


I would take a look at
the linux router project.
www.linuxrouter.org
there is a good list
of resources about it also
at lrp.c0wz.com  
I would recommend however not using
the standard lrp setup, and going with
the matterhorn dist
http://lrp.plain.co.nz/ or the lrp
so you can use a 2.2.x kernel and ipchains.
