Shorewall devel - Jun 2004 - network query

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, so please forgive me if
it''s not. I have read most
of the documentation regarding shorewall, and found it fairly easy to
understand. I am in the
process of buying a new house, where I will have my own computer room and a new
ISP. I would like to
use 1 to 1 NAT on the PC''s.  I will hopefully be setting my my network
as follows:

Internet<-->dslmodem<-->firewall<-->DMZ (for dns/ftp/http/mail
services)
                                            |
                                            |
                                           Hub<-------------------->
                                                    |             |             
|
                                                    |             |             
|
                                                PC1       PC2          PC3

Firewall will be known as gate.kevsinsworld.com
DMZ will be known as spud.kevinsworld.com
PC1 will be knows as pulse.kevinsworld.com
PC2 will be known as pudding.kevinsworld.com
PC3 will be known as gun.kevinsworld.com

Each of the 5 computers will have a seperate public IP address, which I will
have upto 8 from my ISP
to use. Both my wife and I are irc users, we can spend hrs on the network, we
have to share the pc
at the moment. What I would like to do, is have PC1 as mine pc, PC2 for the wife
and PC3 for our
kid.

With the above setup, would it be possible for each of the computers
(pc1,pc2,pc3) to have their
host name be visible on the irc server. For example, at the moment, I have this:


Addy:  genesis@cpc2-colc3-3-0-cust131.colc.cable.ntl.com

and I would like to have it, using the above setup:


Addy:  genesis@pulse.kevinsworld.com

Anyone able to help me out?

regards

Kevin

Once you get your DNS set up (including proper PTR records), what you 
want will "just happen".
