  Hey Gang,
I have just encountered a problem that I need some direction with.

I give some people access to my box to host their domains. Up until a few 
days ago everyone had a static ip address so I could protect my daemons 
with iptables. Now all of a sudden everybody has gone dynamic.

I have done some preliminary research and I have some ideas BUT I am 
looking for some real world experiences.

Here are some of the things I saw:
1. Maybe wrap pop3 with stunnel
2. vpn to the box?


I guess my questions are:
1. What is the easiest solution?

At this moment I am thinking that I should implement a VPN firewall 
appliance and go though that to a second ethernet card. It would definately 
be the easiest solution.
