However, the > firewall is still my biggest challenge. A DHCP server *looks* challenging to set up...but it's really a snap! See my example at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?dhcp Also, check out my firewall setup: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?ipfw I don't use named, I just allow outbound DNS lookups through the firewall. Also, my DHCP server points clients at my ISP's DNS servers... Hope this helps, ~Dan -- FreeBSD Cheat Sheets http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/
