Is it slow? --------------------------------------------------------------------- I use the disbling of IP forwarding and the IP aliasing features of vanilla-plain FreeBSD 2.1.0, along with the TIS FWTK proxies and apache httpd to make a firewall that provides access to the Internet from inside my domain, but no access to the inside from the outside, good access logging, and runs a web server which provides virtual homing as well. This all runs acceptably fast on a 33MHz '486 machine with 8Mb RAM. It is rock solid. No complaints here. Dean Neumann TeleLink Technologies Inc. dneumann@telelink.com
