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


Assuming multiple IP's I was thinking of using the linksys as the
front-end and the Linux server on a DMZ port with it's own firewall. Then
let the router assign 192.168 addresses and firewall the rest of the
network. I guess I just don't like the idea of a single computer being the
access point for the whole system. I know the router and any number of
other things could fail also. There are any number of ways to do this just
have to find out what works best for me. I will still have my 24/7 dialup
PPP running until I iron it all out.

Anyone using a router front-end in a server system?
