Which way of firewalling will fit in this case??

I've got a server with two NICs. One to DSL, the other to the intranet.

 

Because the intranet-NIC shouldn't be firewalled, i can'T use the original MAndrake security settings. They are blocking THE MACHINE, independend on what i am configuring (firewall on eth0, eth1, ppp0...).

 

I need a firewall, that explicitly blocks ONE NIC, not the whole machine!!

I saw that .iso several times, since LM8.0, but what is it exactly?

Just a reduced distro for firewalling??

That would lead in adding another machine for that and i do have only place for ONE, so that's my pitty...

This one MUST do ALL serverdaemons, i need, including firewall!

SNF is a dedicated MDK distro for a firewall. I prefer one like IPCop but the principle is the same. A dedicated box running a stripped down linux distro configured as a firewall.

then you could try e-smith ... that's what I use for my clients with exactly your problem
