Hmm, what if i don't want to use ppp ? For example if i have 2 ethernet boards in my machine, one directly connected to the internet and the other connected to my local area network. Currently, the machine runs under linux and uses ipfwadm to forward and masquerade the packets, acting as a firewall. Is that possible with freebsd ? Thanks, Carsten
