The fedora box doesn't do dns or anything. It's sole purpose is a packet forwarding router that doesnt' allow any input or output, just forwards. Currently it only forwards SSH packets. I may add other forwarding later but the idea is the same still, no direct incoming/outgoing connections to it, just forwards. That is why I'm not sure if I need ICMP supported on it or not, and not sure where do add the ICMP support (input, output, forward). __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
