RE: [FW1] Hide NAT question




Good point Andrew.... try to use another IP address if possible (and just
have the FW arp for that IP via $FWDIR/state/local.arp (on NT) or  via arp
cmd (on SUN)...

If you use your fw's external IP, you will have some packets/connections
initiated back to the fw, cluttering your logs, and depending on the number
of these attemps, may make it harder to distinguish between valid requests
and actual attacks/survailance techniques...

You can use any IP address. I wouldn't use the firewalls external interface.
If no one knows the IP address of your firewall then you've got a better
chance of it not being attacked.

you should hide the network behind?  I assume that you hide it behind the
firewall's external IP address.  However, does that lead to unwanted traffic
direct to the firewall from the Internet?
