tiny firewall boxes

[Aviss,Tyler]

Having dealt with both Linux (iptables/ipchains) and BSD (ipnat/ 
ipfilter/ipfw) I would have to say that there's little to be feared by  
BSD firewall rules. They're actually quite easy to figure out if you  
have 'nix firewall experience, and comparably nice to maintain.
