Just a general question.
I know I can build IPTABLES to do security, firealling, stateful packet inspection... but I've had this nagging question: Can it do routing (IP routing) the same way CISCO IOS can ?
I'm looking for an easier-on-the-budget solution to some of my business' routing issues.
Thanks in advance.
There's a separate packing to do routing at that level.
