Heh.  I'm not particularly worried; it was he who insisted on staying
with SCO, despite my clear illustration that it wasn't effective, and it
was only when his investors noted the cost of SCO licenses versus Linux
licenses and support and how that affected *their* bottom line that he
switched...  Personally I'm a SuSE man for production Linux (good service
contract support in a robust distro), though I like OpenBSD for secure
servers and I've heard good things about Debian but haven't tried it
again in the past few years (that free time thing).  But I'm obviously
just the dumb programmer ;-)

OK.

Oooh, perfect.  It actually sounds like I need

  Packet Filtering HOWTO: 'Mixing NAT and Packet Filtering'

but I'll find that -- unless some kind soul points me to it first :-)
