Hi, 

maybe i should add my two cents asswell 

i would say that if you wanna make a node invisible, then just get iptables 
to reject everything that tries to initiate a connection. 

if the host is going to be a firewall, i like to make a bridge, put my 
iptables rules on it, then take of the IP address of the bridge.

This will make the host invisible, in the sense that no-one will be able to 
connect, but some clever ppl might figure out that something sits between 
them and other hosts. 


maybe this can help you
