[buug] small home OpenBSD pf/router

[Frederic]

Hi,

I've configured a old PC with 2 NICs an OpenBSD 3.6 which I want to use 
as a packet filter/router, dhcp server for the home network. If 
advisable, I'd like to have Apache/MySQL/PHP on it as well. So, here are 
my questions :

1) my ISP uses the mac address of the NIC I have registered with and I 
can't seem to get an address from my ISP if I don't connect with that 
mac address (of the NIC which is in another PC). Normally one would copy 
the mac address to the NIC using eg.  'ifconfig xl1 hw 
A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6'  but I can't seem to find if and how it is done in 
OpenBSD 3.6.

2)  if the packet filter routes the packets for the http server to the 
LAN NIC and Apache is set to only listen to the LAN NIC are the security 
issues any different from a situation where the http server is on a 
different host on the LAN ?

I've been googling but I can't seem to find the answers (that I 
recognize being answers). So, thank you for any suggestions, help or 
just pointing me to right places to look for.

Kind regards,
Frederic
