I want to test some server systems and firewall combinations on my
LAN I can't see how to simulate access from the public internet.

I've got a DSL/pppoe connection to a Linksys router/firewall (soon to
be replaced with an IPcop box). I'd love to put a small hub between
the linksys box and the DSL modem then plug a test client into the
hub. I know this won't work.

Can this be done with a linux-based firewall, even if it requires a
third ethernet card ?
