Look at FireStarter. Set it up with one external IP port forwarding. You can then add the extra port forwarding to /etc/firestarter/portfw fairly easily. Adjusting /etc/firestarter/firewall.sh to allow all 3 incoming IPs is a little more difficult, but still pretty easy if you can write shell scripts. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.TOLISGroup.com/ # You can't handle the source! - der.hans
