Message-ID: <mvhE18qqD.3EK@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 22:06:12 GMT Lines: 18 Sender: mvh@netcom18.netcom.com I was thinking of proposing that we use a FreeBSD system as out internal firewall - anybody have anything good or bad to say? Is the IPFW stuff all rock solid? The architecture would be Ext router | FreeBSD machine | Internal network where the FreeBSD machine would use ipfw and proxies, and would have our web site on it. Any comments? Thanks, Mike
