Shorewall should work fine in that environment -- just don''t try to use

Is it possible to use the shorewall-firewall ( my compliments, by the way) in 
a screened-network architecture using 2 firewalls or is it "much"
easier to
write my own scripts in this case.

Thanks.

I am curious about the "screened-network archictecture" using two
firewalls.
What is involved in that type of architecture.

Thanks.

Scott

What I assumed Ad was referring to was a two-ring architecture where the=20
outer ring is protected from the internet by one firewall and the inner ring=20
is protected from the outer ring and the internet by a second.
