Only selected services (POP3S, DNS, and SMTPS) are allowed. Although there are exceptions like 10.0.0.3. Additionaly my ISP limits the amount of traffic from 1 IP. I have 5 public addresses I want to roundrobin them so that traffic gets distributed accross the IPs. > what is this???????????????????????? > -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT that's allow local packets from the lan (eth1) into the server. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
