Subject: IP Management, Firewalling



Hi there,

 I will be having adsl installed in about 30 days, and, basically I
 need some help. I was bidding on a SonicWALL DMZ firewall, but
 someone sadly beat me to it by about 4 seconds. So this leaves me
 with a problem.

 With the adsl package I will be assigned 13 IP addresses. I need to
 segregate one section of the network for the LAN (using NAT and to
 firewall it off), and another section for the 'DMZ', where 95% of the
 IP addresses will be used to run various net facing servers.

 How can I do this? I have SuSE 6.4 and a machine to put it on, and a
 healthy supply of network cards. One of my major concerns is how to
 route the IP addresses to the right machines? Has anyone done what
 I'm trying to do? To be quite honest I'm out of my depth now I've
 missed the SonicWALL firewall, but it would feel good to be able to
 do it myself. Can anyone offer some step by step tips, or perhaps
 talk me through it?

  Your assistance is ever appreciated.

<p>Best regards,
 Lee
