Senior Project



Hi all,

I am doing my Senior Project shortly for my degree and have decided that I would like to build a Linux firewall which also is configured for IP Masquerading and DNS using Bind. I really just wanted ideas from some of the more experienced users on this list who have done the same type of setup for themselves. Currently I have a Debian server and have access to 2 static IP addresses. I also have a Windows 2000 box and a Windows NT4.0 box and the current network is using a Linksys router. I would be using probably a Pentium 100 with 48mg ram as my firewall PC which has 2 ethernet cards. But I wonder if I should consider using my current Debian server which is a Pentium 500? As you can see I am quite unsure as to the best approach to this project. I do appreciate your comments and maybe a helping hand in guiding me in the right direction. I might add I have no firewall experience.

Regards
