[Shorewall-users] Shorewall configuration suggestions
Looking for suggestions: I won''t even attempt ascii art.... 1st - 3-NIC shorewall box: - eth0 to DSL modem - eth1 to 2nd 3-NIC shorewall - eth2 to DMZ webserver (NAT 3 real IP''s assigned by SBC) 2nd - 3-NIC shorewall box: - eth0 to box above (1st 3-NIC) - eth1 to local LAN (W2K and Linux boxes with samba PDC) - eth2 to "DMZ" - semi trusted work ISDN webserver - also running shorewall (eth2 of 1st box) I seem to be stepping all over myself and exponentially increase /etc/shorewall/rules to accomodate cascading "shorewall" ... Are there any "examples" or should the I just stick with the one interface, two interface, three interface examples and kludge from there ? I have currently prohibited myself from running a Citrix client from any of my "local LAN" boxes and can only use that 2nd 3-NIC shorewall box. I''m not really comfortable with an all-all scenario once I get past that first box....

Internet, DMZ, Local, and WLan... My Win boxes all hang off of Wlan, and I use MAC authentication and WEP to help keep the neighbors off... It''s just the kids on them, so I''m not concerned about deeper security than that.. Sure seems it was alot easier to configure an extra zone than another box ;) --- Homer Parker /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email http://www.homershut.net x No Word docs in email telnet://bbs.homershut.net / \ Respect for open standards "Bill Gates reports on security progress made and the challenges ahead." -- Microsoft''s Homepage, on the day an SQL Server bug crippled large sections of the Internet.
