UPnP is about as evil as you can get. Take Celene Dion, breed her with any of the members of Lordi, add some Dr Peppers and leave the result in the Big Brother house for the next year. Take the resultant creature and put it on American Idol. Now, look at *anyone* who's voting to keep that creature in American Idol. UPnP is even more evil than that. Any security company or device that supports UPnP is a complete and utter joke. UPnP is a massive vulnerability waiting to happen. I'm still surprised to this day that it hasn't been exploited due to its inherent and mind numbingly stupid weaknesses. > > question 3 > > Will the the m0n0wall route traffic to public IPs behind the > > server... > > for example let say I have an public subnet of 10.0.0.2 - > > 10.0.0.24 (lets assume this is a public routable subnet)and I > > want to have the ability of users behind m0n0 (10.0.0.2) that > > may perhaps need a public IP, if I give them a public IP of > > 10.0.0.4 with the default GW of > > 10.0.0.1 (ISP device) and the public subnet mask, will m0n0 > > auto route traffic to them??
