This is likely OT, but probably one of the best places to ask, I hope. I have been deploying FBSD VPN Routers all over the place, but got an opportunity through the ISP that I work for to play with a MultiTech VPN Gateway device over the weekend. It is pretty good as I hacked the root account and looked through the php docs on the Linux system. I disagree with the licensing model, and want to build my own interface for my Free boxes that do identical functions to the multitech. I would like to build with perl and am wondering how one would seriously go about starting up such a project. I have built many ISP related web interface tools, but none the size of this, and certainly do not have time to do it all myself. Some of the ideas that I have include: - Auto install of system, including appropriate ports (httpd, squid, BIND, raccoon, etc) - Auto configuration of Kernel to perform NAT, IPSEC, BRIDGE, IPFIREWAL, etc. - Complete web interface for management of unit (in Perl) Hopefully there are others out there who rely heavily on FreeBSD for routing, NAT, Firewall and vpn solutions that see a need/want for this type of idea and would be willing to at least discuss where something like this could start. A good web interface would also provide a method for lower-level support staff to set up cpe instead of doing it all manually ourselves. Tks, Steve Bertrand
