[cobalt-developers] Firewall Questions



Hello all some "stupid" questions.

By now I have understood a firewall as a single computer protecting other
computers.

I see that on the Qube2 is a Firewall installed and also a webserver and all
the other stuff.

So as insurances ask for firewalls to be installed is it possible to have a
firewall and webservers and so on installed on a Raq3i, or do I have to get
a extra RAQ for that.

In case its possible what di Ihave to do. The main IP is the firewall and
all other IPs are connected via "pseudo" localhost, and the packets are
filtered within the firewall program.

Hope that makes sense.

What is the definition of firewall (Packetfiltering only), or can protecting
via hosts.allow and so on already be defined as firewall?

Cheers
Nils
