firewalling a public class c net

nsX · 06-25-2004, 06:06 AM

Hi there

I have an official class c network 217.13.198.32/27. Now, I want to setup a firewall which controls all incomming traffic. All the hosts have to keep their IP addresses. For example, 217.13.198.44 has to be accessible from outside and should be routed through the firewall transparently.

I have tried some things but the problem is, that the firewall has two interfaces in the same network what causes problems.

Does anyone has any suggestions?

thx,
