Try the linux router project - fits on a floppy or whatever, very similar
to sharethenet (which if I remember correctly was a deriverative of
LRP) at www.linuxrouter.org. It's free and there are packages for
everything!

Bruce,
Try ShareTheNet (http://www.sharethenet.com).
It's Linux based and does just about everything
you want to do out of the box. (Except handle
multiple static IPs, which I recall you are using.

look at it, but I doubt it'll help me much.
You could use one or more ShareTheNet routers, or
You mean multiple machines, each one being a router? Yukk... I cringe at
the very thought of the cabling that would entail...
just leave your Web, FTP, Mail server(s) out
naked
rather than behind the ShareTheNet firewall.)
No way! Security around here is going to be TIGHT, and that means
everything behind a firewall and NATted. I'm already investigating Linux
and *BSD solutions.
It's shareware, so you can try it (for 30
minutes
at a time) to see if it suits you.
If it can't deal with multiple static IPs, then it is pretty much useless
to me.
Thanks for the reply in any case.
