Speaking of this, how do people feel about using this route as a 'cheap'
firewall for quick and dirty distribution within an internal network--say
as gateway machines to internal networks?
MIS could periodically distribute CD-ROMs with the current configuration
of the month to all the different sites and have them run them behind the
firewall--make for a significantly harder internal network.

I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge,
experience, and creation." -Anais Nin
