Re: [PLUG] Re: DSL she no go...


Well they'll give you 5 bridged IP's if you don't take the routed block, so
you could still run your server direct but you'd just have to have a
separate firewall on each box...

I am pretty sure the low-end linksys stuff is NAT-only - even if it does let
you specify a real address range for your internal network. Not 100%
positive of that though. I think the netgear prosafe line will do real
subnets if you specify them. Otherwise, a simple linux box with iptables
would be plenty sufficient.
