I would create an Webpage with answers to all the questions, that i can understand and solve. I create an Page with sample Scripts for many Problems, also the Problems to undestanding the dnat (fwd) from ipfw, these Pages also includes then piping with ipfw for bandwith-limitation and QOS-like queueing with Traffic-weight's. I become very happy if one or two Persons can collect the questions for me so i can me concentrate to writing the answers and the sample scripts. At this Time i can not forwarding any Script from me, while these scripts contains confidential data and have no comment's!. So i first must rewrite an commenting these Script's to explain how ipfw works. On the other hand i must a little thinking about what is recomended, useful and required. p.e. to use the fwd option from ipfw you must compile your own kernel...... i think you understand what i mean. I post this message also on the ipfw-mailin-list that others can see my work and can contact me. so on, i bee a little bit busy....and must working :-) If i not reciving messages from interests, so i would Post an message on this Mailin-list and on the stable-list so that you only must take a look on this list...if you or the others are to busy. ups, i have forgotten to sa first i must remake my own Firewall, these was crashed this night at 3:50.... only to see what FreeBSD makes possible: this crashed Firewall was: PI 200MHz-MMX 128MB RAM 2G-root-disk 512MB-Swap-disk ;-)) not really used but better is it Running: sendmail bind(named) squid thttp ppp-subscriber ISDN-Answerbox ISDN-ROUTING (DSL-backup) I know no other OS that makes this possible (except *BSD) with Linux i have many trouble to install the os, the Processor was too outdated.....;-))) also......FreeBSD makes you happy! best regards Michael
