IPChains

[Brian Kelsay]

Yes, FreeSCO is one of the floppy firewalls.  Something like ipportfw or a
simplified webserver daemon is included as well as a few other nicities like
a print server daemon and the rest slips my mind.

Gene,

   Actually the answer is no. You can do what you want without Apache, but
ipchains won't do it. You will need to install software to do the port
forwarding, like ipportfw or apparently freesco. I have never heard of
freesco - sounds like a software router. In any event, you will want to
install something that will listen for whatever ports you want to forward
and set up ipchains accordingly. I would suggest the Firewall HOWTO as a
possible source of info.

yes.  I'm currently using freesco for my router and there is an option for
this.  I think you forward all requests at port 80 of the firewall to port
80 of the webserver.  I'd say in the /etc/hosts.allow file, but I could be
wrong.  I do know that you can do it.  I'm not far enough along on mine
though.

	I have a P133 running as my gateway for my @Home modem.  I have
minimal
services running on it to decrease the security risks.  Is it possible to
use ipchains on that machine to forward any http requests to a machine on my
internal network without running Apache on the gateway machine?

Thanks,
