firewall for web server

[Peter]

I am budiling a web server.
Since it is ina remote data center wher I do not contrl the router I prefer
I to build firewall on the www server.

APF http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php
very popular firewall in the linux world.

Thanks,

Peter

First, are you building a firewall or a web server?

If you're building a firewall, you don't want to run any services like WWW
at
all on the machine.  If you're building a web server, you're probably not
going to be routing traffic, no-- to corresponds to your second remark.
