It is mapped to a public ip
84.92.71.44/32 => 10.0.0.3/32
under NAT->1:1
I have a proxy arp setup for this address as it is not the firewalls main address

It *should* work as i can see in the firewall packets as passed from a source
and listing the destination as 10.0.0.3

Tick 03:14:31.311463 WAN 152.78.71.23 10.0.0.3 ICMP

and ive checked that i can actually ping from the m0n0wall using the webtool,
its definaty a puzzling one!

yeP understably way to open a firewall but its a very secure linux server it
should be ok whilst i setup to work!
