Rick:
A second box as a firewall in unnessary, you could use the program
'ipfwadm' to drop all routes except those you specify, OR you the program
abacus_sentry to do that for you (which can also be configured to use
ipfwadm to drop packets as well...)
Right now abacus sentry is still beta, but in the Makefile i
snagged this addie: # Send problems/code hacks to crowland@psionic.com or
crowland@vni.net. So drop an email to him if you are interested in beta
testing it. I would create a debian package, but as of now i have no
knowledge on creating the control files required by dpkg to make them =\
