Hi and thanks for your reply. I have absolutely nothing against FWTK or any
other
shareware, etc. software. It's my client who does. I've already worked with the
toolkit and actually suggested its use in this case, but to no avail. The
type of
solution envisaged for the customer is a screened subnet architecture. He
doesn't
want to buy a whole firewall solution (such as Gauntlet) but a proxy on a
machine
with a single network card. Sorry if I mislead you with my request.
Regards.
