[NMLUG] 2nd nic

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

The only reason I would want to run a proxy is to isolate the DSL nic from
casual users.  The proxy would be running on some non-standard port.  I don't
want any automatic routing done between the 2 nics.  I want them isolated
from each other with the only thing bridging them together (and having access
to the 2nd/DSL nic) would be the proxy software.
