In the example firewall rule set in rc.firewall, there are
the following lines:
# set these to your outside interface network
oif="$firewall_simple_oif"
onet="$firewall_simple_onet"
# set these to your inside interface network
iif="$firewall_simple_iif"
inet="$firewall_simple_inet"
Can these be set by the system automatically? Specifically
$firewall_simple_onet?
When the IP changes on the ISP's side, I'd like to
have this detected and updated in the rules without my
manual intervention. Do I need to write a utility and
run in crontab? Or is there a better way?
I'm off-list, so please reply directly to this e-mail addy.
TIA.
Walter
