Linux Firewall

[Benjamin Stocker <bstocker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hy all,

I maintain a small Hosting center with 6 webservers, fax, pop3-mail.
etc. I only have one C Subnet! I would like to protect my servers with a
iptables firewall. Unfortunately, it seems to be odd to put the fw AND
the servers in the same subnet.

It seems to be possible to install two NIC's in the firewall and point
one of them to the Net, the other to the webservers, but both configured
for the same subnet. But that configuration seems to be rare and I
cannot find documentation about it.

What's your opinion?
Many thanks, Benjamin
