Network issue

[thegmin]

Hi all
I have a question, is there anyway to save ip's, because my ISP is a pain in the a** and he would not give me more ip's. I am truly a newbie in servers and linux as well. I have a few web servers and a mail one, they all use veth. I don't know what venet does. As much as I know it gives an internal ip to the VE but is there anyway to acces that VE from outside. Is there anyway to have a few web servers hosting with http and mysql with this venet using a real IP, somekind of port forwarding. I am truly confused and any advice would be very helpfull.

Usually you have a firewall (you should really have one) . So you can configure any masquerading or port forwarding there.

Can you suggest a good distro for a firewall. What to you think about zeroshell.

pfSense or IPCop?

debian + shorewall is quite easy and flexible (but no GUI)

Thank you guys for the help, IPcop turned out to be very useful.
Proxmox is an execellent piece of software Im looking forward for 2.0.
