It's not too bad... just run natd on your internal port in reverse mode with all the redirect options... it works... but it also causes other nasty problems... like if you telnet (just for the sake of argument) from outside to an inside box and do a "who" it says you're coming from your firewall. Now apply that to sendmail and relaying and yikes.. Seems easier to just run to copies of DNS and set your internal clients to listen to one and the rest of the world to listen to the other... that's what I do... it's a pain, but not that bad.. -philip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
