It's not to avoid remapping addresses, but to try and use the firewall as an application firewall instead of a packet filter firewall. The running application on the firewall would be in charge of receiving whatever type of information on the external interface and then redirecting it to the internal interface, instead of simple NAT'n and IP forwarding, which is at the network level. > see http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ > > and the bridge and ipfw manpages > > cheers > luigi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
