I talked with my ISP and they will route me a /30 for my firewall and a /28 for the DMZ segment. The DMZ will be hosting a webfarm does anyone have a list of things I should to the box besides filtering rules? like how I can stop directed broadcasts etc... I am going to accept Established and New connections in the forward chain going to the webservers and drop invalid. Is that ok for webservers or should I also accept related? Im only going to open up port 80 to the webservers and drop everything else.
