I don't think there is any such thing as an "ideal" configuration; but I
am running kernel 2.4.19 with latest netfilter/iptables release ie. pom
20020825 and iptables-1.2.7a: no complaints, it runs great really.
Support for the services you are mentioning is a matter of (you) writing an
appropriate iptables script to implement a customized stateful firewall to
match your specs.
Netfilter/iptables is a packet filter, not a content filter; look elsewhere
if you want to implement content filtering. You may start searching this
mailing list for some suggestions.
