Believe me on another distro list I am currently active this would have
started a bad discussion - example:
Why it's better FreeBSD over Linux, you can easily do this using iptables,
ufw, please don't do that, etc. ;)

Discussion here it's different, it's kinda more appropiate, but sometimes
gets out of the nice techie discussion and goes to more personal issues and
blogging my techie life.

failover-firewall/router
