Background I am currently running freeBSD 4.8 on a box as a) a gateway for the house for internet access on dialup permanant IP , domain etc b) using apache for a web server hosting a domain and virtual domains c ) Qmail for mail d ) Squid proxy for the childrens computers access ( saves on bandwidth ) e) ProFtp as FTP Server f ) DNS g ) Ssh h) All on a dial up account i ) port Sentry j ) etc I need to run a couple of programs inside the lan where ports are directed to them from outside the lan eg all the above services are located on the Bsd box ( 192.168.x.x ) and i need to direct port 5060 to 192.168.0.7 ( for arguments sake ) Not being very knowlegable about the inner workings of FreeBSD ( but learning slowly ) I have decided that seeing as this is really only a temporary exercise ( perhaps a month , and to compound everything in a couple of months the BSD box will also be shifting to broadband ), that I would use FreeSCO ( www.freesco.org) as a NEW gateway / port redirector . I am going to forward my current services above to my current BSD box and the NEW PORTS direct to the Win box(s) that I need to test this software on . My thoughts were to leave the current gateway as 192.160.0.1 and the FreeSCO box name it 192.168.0.254 . I would like to direct outbound web surfing via the BSD box as current as it would be a PITA to change all the machines on the LAN My question(s) a) is this overkill ( is there an EASIER way to do what I want ( port redirecting ) ( bearing in mind that although the lights are on in the attic they are at times low wattage :-) ) b ) WHAT do I need to change on my BSD box ( rc.conf etc ) to make it work the way described ? Remembering that this is only temporary . Thanks in advance for any advice Regards Benny
