Check out monmotha (in portage) if your requirements are a single |
| 2 |
machine or small nat system (I have an adsl->gateway to two internal |
| 3 |
lans, one coax, one 100m cat5) |

There is also shorewall - people rave about it, but it seems to have a |
| 6 |
spotty history (keep coming across emails implying that there have been |
| 7 |
releases with security problems) and is overly complex for a small |
| 8 |
system. I installed it, started to read the docs and configure it, |
| 9 |
thought urrrkkkkk! and went back to monmotha and was back online in |
| 10 |
minutes. |
