[Leaplist] an ipcop question

[Hank Lambert]

It's my understanding that if you are inside the firewall, i.e. on the
green, you should be able to ping the other three interfaces. However,
if you are on the red you should not be able to ping any of the
interfaces. I'm not sure how the blue or orange would react as I haven't
used them.

Did you ever get an answer on how to set up the blue interface? I'm
getting ready to set up another IPCop box (my last one died) and I want
to set up the blue interface correctly. In my last setup, I had a WAP
hanging off of a switch, not the IPCop blue interface.
