Not that I've seen. The script is pretty one-minded.

I'm pretty lousy at shell programming, but I managed to hack mine up as needed. Well, really just commented out all the stuff that mods resolv.conf and the routing. It's not all that complex as scripts go. >other suggestion of adding my own LAN DNS server is over kill >because my LAN just has 2 pc's on it and the only purpose of the LAN >is to share a single dynamic IP address from my ISP. If that's all you're using the machine for, I'd suggest using IP-Cop: www.ipcop.org It's Linux, not BSD, but it's a very impressive near "turn key" firewall / nat router. Or you could hit Best Buy for a $40 Linksys box. -Wayne
