[TriLUG] LAN/WAN interface question

[Mike M]

I need to open one server on my LAN to an outsider.  My Linksys
router appliance (BEFSR11) doesn't seem to be up to the job.  I think
it's time to upgrade to Linux.  

Reqs:

* Allow a certain static IP address to ssh to a single server. (THis is
the requirement the appliance doesn't seem to support.)

* NAT

* VPN support

Is iptables that way to go?

European had a standard of living not very much superior to that of the
average man in India or China. -- dailyreckoning.com
