I've also found ipfilter to be very robust and feature rich. Far more than is needed for a site such as mine. I reckon it's better suited to big industrial strength sites as opposed to home nets like mine. That said, I like it and it's my tool of choice for NAT and packet filtering. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
