General Questions

I want to setup a m0n0wall for traffic shaping and DHCP

I would like the computers  on the LAN Side to have public IPs (Internet IPs)
I would like to have full access to these computers form the internet (this is for remote management web hosting etc.

I am not sure if this can be done. 
Do I need to bridge the connection?
Do I need DMZ?

I hope I am explaining this clear enough

please give me any suggestions?


thanks for your time

If you need to do traffic shaping and DHCP, you can't use a bridged setup. You'll need a routed public IP subnet for an internal interface, and like a /30 for your WAN, where your ISP routes your internal public subnet to your WAN IP. Then disable NAT (see FAQ) and you're set.

BTW this is exactly what I do with m0n0wall and it works great. Traffic shaping and all. Good luck!

thanks for the help I will do some more testing
