Hello folks, I was wondering if I could get a little advise on firewalls. I'm setting up a webserver, email server, and firewall site (three computers running SUSE). The firewall is going to be hooked up directly to a high speed DSL line...for starters. It's going to have a static IP. The other machines are going to have only the necessary software (Apache on one and SuSE email server II on the other). The firewall is going to sport the 2.4 kernel with the netfilter/iptables patch. The question is: Is it possible to forward traffic to the other two machines (if they have static IP's of there own) using just iptables? Or, do I have to use another tool/ utility? Thanks for any help, DAVID *********************************************************************** This electronic message may contain information that is confidential and/or legally privileged.

From: Grimm, David [mailto:DGrimm@carolinas.org] The firewall is going to sport the 2.4 kernel with the netfilter/iptables patch. If I was you I would wait for SuSEfirewall2 to be released. Right now, as Marc already mentioned, the 2.4 kernel is not yet recommended for security issues. Andreas
