In terms of new lists, I suggested long ago, that the number of questions on filtering/firewalls/nat and all points east generated on -questions could easily justify it's own mailing list. Since this is clearly one of the most confusing, most ill-understood, and frankly insufficiently documented areas of FreeBSD .. and yet one of it's most important. I have twice suggested to Crist Clark he write a book on it.. I think he told me he was once approached to do so. But sadly no such book exists. There are lots of bits of paper flying around the net with recipes, suggestions, partial explanations etc. But there is no-where a coherent in-depth discussion of it all. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- <csfbsd@raggedclown.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
