RH7.3 as router and firewall?


Is it possible to setup a RH7.3 as a router and a firewall? Here is my situation. I now am using a watchguard soho as my router/firewall but i keep having to reboot the darn thing because it just starts blocking my webpage from the outside. I have the soho configured like this. my outside ip address which is also what the DNS is pointing to my webpage, is NAting to my internal IP on my webserver.

I just installed RH on an old 166 with 2 nic's. Can I use the same IP setup on the RH box? 1 nic inside range, other nic outside nic and nating to my internal ip's????

Thanks in advance,

Mike

You can do it very easily with iptables.
here is a page with lot of info on the same.

( And to set up static routes, use route command)

or use the tutorial at www.linuxdoc.org . I'm doing exactly that, and it's fantastic. iptables lets you set up a truly secure firewall... well, for secure general use anyways.
