indeed. my old server at home still runs linux kernel 2.2.24, with an
ipchains firewall on an old p3. it serves a few static html pages with
apache 1.3. its an authoritative DNS server, with bind 9.6 that I
built and configured by hand. I'm hoping to replace it with a pfSense
firewall next week, and move my static webpages to my freeNAS box.
