Just a quick reply
you can set an orange zone as well as red and green

Are machines in the orange zone not on the same physical network as machines in the green zone? If so I don't like it, if not I like it.

Master of Reality:
has anyone else used smoothwall? It sounds/looks good. I dont really want to upgrade my firewall... because it isnt broken...yet. But in the future i may try it out.

KernelPanic:
I use smoothwall GPL and it rocks! In reply to voidman's question IP MASQ and Squid are both supported you make the decicion. You can set up 3 interfaces (NIC, modem, USB modem whatever) Red (Outside world), Green (Local), and Orange (DMZ). I cant remember whether the firewall features are IP tables or IP chains, but i think with the latest updates smoothwall is a 2.4 kernel so it's probably IP tables. You can use SSH to change the ruleset if you want to add you own thing. Another cool feature is that it can also sync with and update a service like dyn dns when your IP address changes.

voidmain:
Well, I didn't really ask about IP MASQ.  I wanted to know if it would do IPSEC VPN (probably would have FreeS/WAN installed if it does).  I would also bet that it just uses ipchains/iptables to do the firewalling but with a pretty GUI.

Master of Reality:
has anyone tried sentry or any other firewall distribution?
