Hello, I was looking for some recommendations on using a standalone RH machine as a firewall. Right now, I have an older Linksys router which I use as a standalone router for my broadband connection. I was considering placing a firewall behind my router. Other than being overly paranoid, I'd like to do this b/c i like the logging capability of iptables and iptables has much more flexibility as far as rules go. The Linksys router simply routes, forwards, and does rudimentary logging. My questions are: 1. Is the overkill from a home network? 2. Should I just use my linux box as a router AND a firewall and ditch the Linksys appliance all together? 3. If there is room for both, how might the router allow traffic to flow to the machine I designate as my firewall?
