Hello everyone,

I'm trying to configure my network and routing.  I currently have 1 FreeBSD box acting as a NAT firewall which routes my internal LAN to the internet over a cable modem.  I'm trying to add a dedicated firewall for added security.  Here is the configuration I would like to have:

| ------------ |                                | --------------------- |     | -------------------------- |
|  Internet | ----- Cable Modem --- | FBSD Firewall | ---- | FBSD File Server | ----- HUB ---- Internal LAN
| ------------ |                                | --------------------- |     | -------------------------- |

The Firewall and File Server are two separate boxes.  The firewall I assume will use NAT to connect to the cable internet service.  If you have any advice on how to configure this.  Please let me know ASAP.  Thanks!
