Transparent firewall for DMZ

[Chris Ditri <chrisd () better-investing org>]

Hello everyone.

This is my first post to the list, so please be gentle :).

I am building a DMZ, but I don't really have any experience with transparent 
bridge firewalls.  I have a reasonbly good understanding of iptables and 
linux in general, and have built many NAT based firewalls, so I am not a 
total newbie -- but this will be my first DMZ.

I was wondering if anyone out there might know of a good resource (or 
resources) to get started on this.

The one reference I found was not so helpful, but did state that you cannot do 
with with any other kernel version except those between 2.4.12 and 2.4.19 
(inclusive).  Is this true?  Can I use a 2.4.22 kernel to do this?

My final question:  Is this too advanced of a question to ask on this mailing 
list?  I don't know how basic "basic" is :0).


Thanks for the help!


Chris
