Home firewall (clarifacation)

[adam <agraham () lcc net>]

Thanx for the over wellming support...

many of the replies were dependant of what i am running....

so here it is...
        Red Hat 6.0 to 7.1 (which ever is supported best by firewall i want to use)
	2 3com 905B Network cards and i have a third to use if need be (would like 
to set up a DMZ down the road)
        Pentium 2 350 MHz with 196 MB RAM
        and a 20 GB Hard Drive..

I know it is more box than needed.. but it is just what i am not using for 
something else...

I am using IP Masquerading now.. which in my understanding is IP Chains.. I 
have a Static IP at home... and have several machines behind the gateway 
box... here is what i would like to do.. for my experience... (keep in mind 
i work 18 hours a day as a developer not an admin). I would like to make 
the firewall act as a router in the sense that.. it will send all traffic 
on the Live IP from the ISP to a particular computer.. ex:   i want all 
traffic on port 80 to go to my little developmental web server, and all 
SMTP and POP3 to go to my little developmental mail server.. but i want to 
be able to protect my MySQL server from all traffic not on the private 
side. I am under the thinking that this can be done under IP Tables not IP 
Chains... I am running Red Hat Professional Server on a majority of my 
servers and windows on my workstations... I hope this helps in giving me 
better guidance...

-Adam
