Greetings, all. I've got a firewall, which has some great features, but is lacking QoS. Being over DSL it's quite a problem when I'm downloading and uploading (and will be compounded when I start using VoIP). Is is realistic or feasible to have a m0n0wall box in between my DSL modem and my current firewall, which would only be used for traffic shaping? I'm trying to wrap my brain around what would need to be configured. My current firewall is NATing for the internal clients, but I may need to disable NAT on that box since the m0n0wall box would be the last piece of equipment before the Internet. Would I do 1:1 NAT to allow all traffic from the Internet to be sent directly to my current firewall? I'd like to have the m0n0wall box provide an IP address to my current firewall via DHCP (static mapping) so I could leave my current firewall in DHCP mode. This would allow me to, without reconfiguration, remove the m0n0wall box and be back in working order. It seems like a lot of work to keep my current firewall in the mix, but like I said, I really like it. :) Any ideas? Thanks, Geoff |
