[SunHELP] Filtering with Solaris 8 x86

[Erik Parker]

Ok, Ipfilter doesn't cut it for me.. The box crashes every few weeks (with
various versions).. kernel dumping because of Ip filter.

Is there any alternative? I basically only need to do very simple
filtering, like blocking access to bind (aka one big ass root hole) to
only be accessible to the polling upstream nameservers, and to ssh, so
only allowed IP's can even hit the port.

Using the built in "filtering" of those softwares is not adequate..

Any ideas? Something inexpensive is proffered.. I could run checkpoint on
it, but this is just a host, not a firewall.
