Subject: Advice on network config (unix - linux and windows - mac)
Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 17:55:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YSWTUOIGZT2UOIQ31ZXCBGC71B6TN.3daae90a@pc5> (raw)

I would like to setup a linux box as gateway - firewall and NAT (maybe DHCP too) for a network of SUN workstations, windows (98, XP, 2000) PC's and macs. 

I don't care about win and mac 's security but would like the SUN network to be as secure as possible. As I guess win can be easily compromised or in our case, untrusted 
persons can have access to it so I thought of physically separating the unix network from the others by using 2 subnets (three network cards on the gateway). So having 
two private networks, I can filter what goes from one to the other with the gateway's firewall (iptables in my case)

Is this the right way to do what I would like? Do you see any problem pointing out? Any recommandation would be welcome.

Thanks,
David Bourgeois
