SO, me and my LACK of experience have just been schooled.

We are going to have a server, 2 NIC's. SO now here comes the BIG picture, which is actually really small.

We will have the internet coming through to the modem which will proceed to the Firewall (Hardware) then fomr there to the UNIX Firewall server, then out to the network. So i will need to figure out how to route, have the signal come in on eth0 and then go back out on eth1. Then setup my rules in between.

Now, i was thinking of using FreeBSD, for testing purposes, can not beat the price. And if it works then possibly purchasing a UNIX Distro. I am all for companies who provide good product to get recognition for it.

Does anyone have any tips that i should know when embarking on this endeavor? Things i should know about FreeBSD that will make this process, easy or harder to accomplish?
