I've There are a number of options depending on what kind of router you want. Assuming you mean a domestic or SOHO edge router to a service with a single IP allocation you will need to set up: NAT/Firewall: ipfw or pf can be used - there are many recipes online for pf configurations, just make sure you understand the one you use. DHCP/DNS: Install dnsmasq and set it up. Media server, 'personal cloud' and similar services can also be set up (many options), personally I like to keep my edge router down to routing, NAT and firewall and run all the services elsewhere on the LAN. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
