I would appreciate experts' answer on this. I am not sure if 
the following is possible with FreeBSD:



Internet---------      ----------private LAN
                 |    |
                tun0  ep0
                 -------
                 |     |
                 |     |
                 ------- FreeBSD2.1 running DNS, SOCKS
                         IPFW turned off, etc.

The main purpose is to have a server that acts as a firewall 
allowing clients on the provate LAN to access the internet.

tun0 interface will have a valid ip ( ppp ) address and the ep0
will be a made up address/LAN.


Thank you in advance.  Also, any recommendations for the 
firewall( socks, fwtk, etc.) ?
