[NTLUG:Discuss] Scanning networks

[Patrick Parks]

I am in the process of securing my network, and have a few questions. I
have DSL, and have a RH box set up with 2 nics, 1 to local net and one
to DSL. When I scan the DSL IP from inside my network, am I actually
going through the net or am I seeing it from inside my network? The
machine I am using to scan it with is also a trusted host on the gateway
box, so should  I use ip aliasing and assign a different ip to my nic in
the machine I am using to scan and try scanning that way to see what
really is open? Thanks
