I operate a small network of about 5 computers and am considering setting up
a pc to operate as a firewall/router for the network. The network does no
recieve much traffic at all and trying to figure out hardware wise what I need
the topology I have decided to go with is that each box on the network will have
its own nic on the pc. Additionally, if anyone can suggest documentation on how
to set this up software wise I would appreciate it.

I have some experience with iptables, but an unsure exactly how I would set this
up? Again any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
