[ale] Off the wall question about IP_Forward.

[John Cole]

Howdy!

Well, the other problem is that I have 2 nics on the same system that I can
NOT have ip_forward turned on.  Is it still possible to do any forwarding
via iptables/etc but without ip_forward?

Thanks,
John

I think that what you would want to do is to set up 2 NIC's to forward using
iptables.  You could drop packets that people try and forward across the
others.
