the Network

The DSL feed comes into the ISP-supplied vDSL bridge, which is uplinked to a Maxtech 10baseT hub.

The area fed by the Maxtech is the DMZ. Inside the DMZ are

emperor, a Debian server set up as a sacrificial lamb for various courses I teach. Also hosts the main OTRnap server.
a Linksys BEFSR41 10/100 router-switch which handles Network Address Translation (NAT, both as client on the WAN and server on the LAN) and firewalling duties like port forwarding, port and MAC/IP filters, etc. Sweet. I don't use the built-in PPPoE or WAN NAT functionality.

Behind the Linksys is a SynOptics 16-port 10baseT hub which I got at a salvage outlet for $50. Supposedly it's a managed hub, but I haven't messed with that at all. This hub feeds:

malkuth the Debian linux server which is serving the document you're currently reading. This box replaced the dead 'mouse' machine.
the 2000 server, used mainly for file service and running AudioGnome, OpenNap, etc. Also does .mp3 and .rm encoding, binaries posting.
SPARCstation 5 for Solaris development stuff. This one was a freebie from my buddy Wayne.
Ultra SPARC 1 is my usual workstation.
various Wintel DHCP boxes (Win95, Win2000, red hat, Debian), and laptops.

Here is a rough schematic of the network
