[Cumbria] Building firewalls with iptables...

[Schwuk]

For all those interested in building firewalls with iptables (available 
in the 2.4.x kernels onwards) I've found a very good article by Daniel 
Robbins of Gentoo Linux ( http://www.gentoo.org ) fame. In fact, I 
recommend any article by Daniel as everything I've read of his to date 
has been good...

Here's the link (it's a long one!) ...

This will also open up a chance for Ian to tell us all why iptables 
isn't as a good as pf which isn't as good as ipf which isn't as good as 
the built in firewalling in windows xp (the last one was a joke btw).

Cheers,
