The box in question is an IPCop firewall. The rc.firewall.local file is
empty of any rules because the base rules are in the rc.firewall file.
That file is rather long and complicated since it meshes with the web
based admin GUI. Each rule starts with a call to '/sbin/iptables'

eth0 is the internal network, eth1 is the DMZ and eth2 is the connection
to the internet. The goal is to change the DMZ behavior in two ways:

1. To disallow any and all connection between the DMZ and the internal
network. There are pinholes and forwarding allowed in the default rules.
I want to disallow these.

2. Allow origination of connections from the DMZ to the Internet. By
default IPCop only allows connection from the Internet into the DMZ but
not the other way.

The web GUI of IPCop doesn't provide access to accomplish these changes
since it violates some of the security design of the distro. If you
really want to see the rc.firewall, I'll post it but it is quite long.
