The box I want to build is passing packets between the rest of my network
(and the public Internet) and one server that will hold sensitive data.
It'll be a Linux box with the TCP/IP stack running in bridged mode, with
two ethernet adapters installed. The box just needs to boot up and run. It
doesn't need to log anything.
