I just saw your posting to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org! If you have any questions regarding NetMAX, please feel free to call us at (800) CYBERNET, or email netmax-support@cybernet.com. There are two solutions that I propose: 1) You should be able to edit the /var/conf/etc/natd.conf file, and add in the "redirect_port" or "redirect_address" to redirect traffic. You'll want to modify the /var/conf/etc/commit.conf file to have the NetMAX system not modify the /var/conf/etc/natd.conf file anymore. This method of redirection is not very secure. 2) We have custom software that we wrote to take care of the problem: How does an employee get access to the internal network from their machine at home, when using a separate ISP? The software is called OpenFire (short for "open firewall"). It has a server program that runs on the Unix host (the NetMAX, or FreeBSD box), and a client for Unix and Windows. The client asks for the name of the OpenFire host, and your account and password. This data is sent over the Internet to the specified server, and upon successful validation, a set of firewall rules (additions/deletions) are executed on the users behalf. Upon logout (or when the client dies), another set of firewall rules are run, to add/remove the rules that were installed at login. If this is the kind of system that you need, then please contact Lauren Works, lworks@cybernet.com. I'm sure that we'd be able to provide the OpenFire s/w on a trial or beta basis! --- Mark J.
