[NTLUG:Discuss] Where's the best place to find answers about Linux?

[Bob Byron]

I have a few specific questions on Linux and I am wondering where would be the best place to ask them.  Does anyone have some "best" sites and newsgroups that like to use for Linux?

My questions are:

1) What is the best way to track byte usage of an IP address when using Linux as a NAT firewall?
I want to be able to track everyone behind the firewall.

2) Even though I am using NAT on the firewall, there are occasions when I want to direct all traffic destined for a specific address to a specific machine behind the firewall.  I am using iptables (kernal 2.4).  In other words, I have a machine sitting on my desk.  Even though this machine has a private non routable (192.168.*.*) IP address, I want users outside to see this machine.  I have a bank of 10 IP addresses, of which the firewall is taking up only one.  I want the firewall to route any traffic destined for the second of the 10 IP addresses to the machine on my desk.  Any ideas?  Where's the best place to ask?

Thank You,
Bob Byron
