The main question is: Can I use the one machine as a firewall, using multiple network cards on different subnets, and at the same time run Squid, SMTP, DNS, DHCPD, CUPS, etc.. on it? What is the take of the experts on a situation like this? Keep in mind this is a home situation with a limited budget.
Sure, I used to do the same thing til I went the opposite route, now I run most everything I need off a WRT54GL with OpenWRT. I had a PC running FreeBSD doing all of those things, but you could run linux or whatever else you prefer instead. General advice: where possible, configure apps to bind only to your internal interface, firewall them anyway, and keep an eye on your logs. Mike -- Stressful?
