thanks for the suggestions osman and reuteler.

do you think security would be (slightly) improved if the openbsd box was behind the modem's NAT, with PF further protecting openbsd box?

sorry if that sounded confusing - what i meant was would having the openbsd box sitting behind the modem's NAT provide a second layer of security since the openbsd box isn't allocated an external IP address? so in effect, the internal LAN would be behind a "double-NAT"... or have i missed something?

im not too concerned about my modem's pppoe because it seems to be quite robust. whenever i lose ADSL line sync, the modem's pppoe/pppoa would automagically reconnect without fail. again, please correct me if i have missed something here as well.
