Alright, I got my Fedora router, gateway, and firewall back. Next is

on that issue and of course, now I got a dynamic IP address again. That
means I have to find an updater for the zoneedit DNS servers for my
domains so that they will work on my Linux box again.

I run Mandriva for my firewall which uses Shorewall as the front end to
iptables.

What I have done is create a /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script.
It gets called from the dhclient client and it updates my
/etc/shorewall/params file with environment var info from
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases. When shorewall comes up it reads
params and sets whatever I like in iptables. Also exit script updates
postfix if my ip address changes.
