If you have unofficial IP addresses on your LAN you should filter out everything (which is best done by turning off routing). If you want socks, you can use it. Another option might be to use application level proxies (such as those in the fwtk), or th NAT feturte of the IPfilter package. ipfw *will not* enable you to have Internet access from machines with unofficial addresses. You must have some type of proxy/NAT for that. Nadav
