What are the risks of having a dual-homed machine (2 NIC's), one on the big bad internet and one on a home lan, with ip forwarding enabled, without ipf or ipfw running? Is this a very bad thing? Is this easily "hopped" to access the internal net? The one way I can think of that would be fairly easy to do is to use the box as a gateway to the internal home net, and that would allow access to the internal net.. (this is in theory, since I haven't set this up and tested this yet).. Thoughts? Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
