I am debating on whether or not i should by a router or just make one using a freebsd box....or even using freesco. I want a router for security and a firewall. I am currently running a BSD box with NATD and IPFW. Would I benefit even more by having a little hardware router (DLINK DI-707, or a NetGear cable router). It would free up a machine. My main concerns are being able to run a DNS server from behind this thing as well as a WWW,FTP,MAIL server. What do you guys think? I should just be able to forward the packets to my internal servers correct? Just like i do with NATD? hope the weekend is going well. Regards, G. Jason Middleton G.
