Its a lot of SME gateways that do the job as a firewall. Generally it works well.

It's true that it is a basic fact that a firewall gateway should not have any server processes running.

On the other hand - Basic facts are for beginners.

With some experience and some knowledge it is possible to run a gateway with server processes running as well and still keep the required level of security. To act as a firewall gateway server is the standard configuration model for the SME server and normally it works rather well.

Arne:

I don't want to be rude here, - only very straight and clear:

I've followed this thread for quite some time now, and I would like to ask you to do only one simple thing:

PLEASE, PLEASE
open up a bug in Bugzilla and apply all of your code into it, so that other people can read it, test it and maybe discuss the CODE instead of spending time discussing rudeness in this forum.

IMHO, if you don't want to show your work to others (work at SMESERVER should me showed in Bugzilla!), you most certainly don't know what you're talking about, - and in that case maybe you'd better go brag about your code somewhere else...
