Ok, y'all know I've got me one of them thar webservers out there in the WWWild. I run a minimal firewall (aka iptables). I'm wondering though what the consensus is on running a full-blown firewall like say IPCop on a server that is a busy box. My webserver is also a mail server and naturally a webmail server. What are the benefits of say adding a second box and running a full-metal jacket firewall like IPCop, and can you run a webserver/mailserver on the same box as IPCop (that is without ripping out the guts of IPCop so it's no longer an IPCop version but some chopped up hacked up Frankenstein monster)?
