Hello, and thank you for your reply. While it's not /exactly/ what I was looking for - it's close. :) The "filtering" capability is my biggest gripe on the Cisco *DSL products. They're just not as /capable/ as is offered in FBSD. DNS is another plus (pfDNS). But I don't think I'd be modify pfDNS to accomodate BIND, or unbound. Although tinydns might be able to fit the bill. Oh well, it's close - thanks for the pointer. :) --Chris Quoting Lawrence Farr <freebsd-stable@epcdirect.co.uk>: > Have a look at pfsense, don't think it's what you want tho. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd- >> stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Chris H >> Sent: 29 January 2009 09:51 >> To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org >> Subject: Replace Cisco IOS/CBOS with freebsd - possible? >> >> Greetings, >> I'm RP for a fairly large chunk of IP real estate.
