I have always wondered what does a firewall really do for one? I mean
why should one have one for their web servers and what kind of protection 
does it give to protect against hackers or what not?
If i was to install a firewall what types of programs should I
install?

Any responses would be appreciated. The servers i'm mainly running
would just be DNS, Web Server, and mail server.

Brian
