    I am running RH8 connected to broadband ISP connection and am using this box
    as an iptable firewall box which also is used as a SQUID proxy server for an
    internal LAN. My ISP assings an IP by DHCP (client) and I have static IP
    addresses for an internal LAN machines.
    What is the best practice for reinitializing an ip filtering script for the
    DHCP client firewall box? I get a new IP address assigned to me as
    frequently as every day to as infrequently as once a month. I have a nice
    iptable script that I can get to work for a static IP address, but I am not
    sure rebooting once a day is the best way to address the potential of
    getting a new DHCP IP address once a day.
