[TriLUG] using a Linux box as a pass-through filter

[Dan Monjar]

An idea I had late last night while I listened to the wind howl... would 
it be possible to setup a Linux box with two nics and use various 
firewall rules to filter traffic and ports... the possible gotcha is 
that I don't want either nic to have an IP address.  I want to take 
traffic in on one port, analyze and drop unwanted packets and then push 
the acceptable traffic out through the other nic.

I want an in-line filter...

I wish everyone on the list a Happy and Safe Holiday season.
