Hi,
  I have my own network at home using REAL Internet IP's. I have 
installed a few firewall rules to prevent spooffing of any of my 
internal addresses from outside of my network. The Box that is acting
as a router among being the networks server, internet gateway, etc...
is AMD K5-PR166 with 32 megs of RAM and connetion to the internet is a
USR X2 modem that gets approx 43K to 50K connect rates.
  Here are the rules I added to prevent SPOOFING:

/sbin/ipfw add 2000 deny ip from 0.0.0.0/29 to any via tun0 in
/sbin/ipfw add 2001 deny tcp from 0.0.0.0/29 to any via tun0 in
/sbin/ipfw add 2002 deny udp from 0.0.0.0/29 to any via tun0 in
/sbin/ipfw add 2003 deny icmp from 0.0.0.0/29 to any via tun0 in

[NOTE]
 The network address has been changed to protect my network.

  Here is my inquiry.. By having these rules installed will it cause
a network lag of someone trying to access my server. Any help or info
on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in Advance
Ron
