OK I used brickhouse to config the built in OS X firewall (great util, btw). What I use that particular mac for is a DNS server. So, what I'd like is to be able to block incoming and outgoing for every single port on that mac, except for 53 (the dns port) and 10000 (for Webmin, a nice web-based config util). When I do this how I think it should be done, the DNS server response is extremely slow, and it takes 5-10 seconds to resolve domain names (the dns connection times out on the PCs on the network)...

so, can anyone help? i need this response to be as fast as it is w/o the firewall..

THanks much.

I installed and bought BrickHouse then Firewalk X and I know that the latter will let you close the firewall, then open or add specific ports and services. You can put it in "watch mode" and wait for attempts to fail and then decide how to deal with each.

I'd love to try firewalk... but...

Features in firewalk are disabled until you register. Since I can't use all the features, I can't tell whether it would work for me. The features that are disabled are the ones that you've recommended using so...

anyone know how to manually configure it? or any other options?
