I am part of another website, and one question arised as to who uses what as a firewall.
This particular person posted this,
The more I look at this setup, the more I don't understand why this works. Has anyone ever seen this type of setup?
Sounds like he is basically using IPCOP as a switch, but why DMZ the server?

Code:
I used to use a s/w firewall but found it was a waste of my resources!
I currently have this...
Modem firewall set to DMZ to my server, other shiz is firewalled.
Linksys firewall is OFF!
From there I have a P1, 64MB ram, 4 gig HDD,
4 1G ethernet cards running Linux Ipcop as my true network firewall...
I have one subnet to the DMZ with my modem for my server...
2 more with my home network using the 4th for the internet!
That said, take a stab at me, I DARE YA! hehe
Overkill?
Not with something running in the DMZ my friends!
