You can also set-up a Proxy-ARP firewall. This is basically a router but th= ere is no=20 need to set up/modify a gateway setting in the internal machines, all traff= ic passes=20 through the router transparently (as in the bridge, but now switching is do= ne at IP=20 level -- i.e. "true" routing). The pros: it's easier to set-up than the bridge code. there's no need to pa= tch=20 kernel code and/or commandline tools The cons: slightly lower throughput, slightly lower security... but easier = ;-) Jos=E9 Carlos JoseCarlos.Ramirez@isotrol.com ---- Mensaje original ---- De: Chris K Ellsworth Fecha: Sat 6/1/02 0:02 Para: lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl Asunto: Re: [LARTC] How to make Linux server transparent to internal machin= es? what you want to do is setup a bridgeing firewall http://bridge.sourceforge.net/ ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Neil Aggarwal" To: Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 2:55 PM Subject: [LARTC] How to make Linux server transparent to internal machines? > Hello: >=20 > I have a block of static IP addresses on which I want to run > several Windows machines. >=20 > Since I want to have a firewall, I was thinking of using 1 IP > address for a linux server that will act as a firewall for > the entire setup. >=20 > So, here is a diagram: >=20 > [Internet] -- [Linux Server] -- switch -- [Internal machines] >=20 > The linux server and the internal machines all have static > IP addresses which are public to the Internet. >=20 > How can I set-up routing so the Linux server is "transparent" > to the other machines? >=20 > Thanks, > Neil. >=20 > -- > Neil Aggarwal > JAMM Consulting, Inc.
