Bad form.  Always do your homework before posting.  In general, if you
don't know where to start looking for any topic, the place to go is
the Usenet FAQ archive.

Usenet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) archives are available around
the Internet.  Web versions can be found at:

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/ [MIT, Canonical site, text-only]
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/cgi-bin/faqwais        [Utrecht University, Netherlands]
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/      [Oxford University, UK]
http://www.faqs.org/                        [Internet FAQ Consortium, US]

In my somewhat-biased opinion, "Internet Firewalls: Frequently Asked
Questions" is the place to start.  http://www.intehack.net/pubs/fwfaq/
