Nothing against CentOS as a firewall, but you might consider a distro that is more focused as a plop'n drop "security applicance" distro: http://www.ipcop.org 4-zone segmentation (WAN, DMZ, LAN, WLAN) Integrated real-time and statistical logging, Snort IDS, etc... PPPoA/PPPoE, VPN, IPSec, DHCP DDNS, Internal DNS, Squid Proxy server Unless you want to learn how all the components work. And even then, I'd edge you towards something like Gentoo. -- Bryan J.
