I appreciate your help and insights, but I need to ask one more
question.

To be honest, I have been very slow to enact my firewall.  I run
ipchains so I can masquerade but don't block anything bec I have been
unable to get it to work right.  Do you have an example of an ipchains
script that might help.  I have found a few but none work they way they
claim to.
