The bes argument for not doing it this way is "Why make things more complicated then they need to be."This is where I need better argumentation...if you can help, it would be appreciated. Specific examples of why it's a bad idea, security problems that could occur, other issues...unfortunately, this configuration has been handed to me, it's not my idea, so I need to understand what's wrong with it and be able to offer sound arguments for the more conventional approach, if there's is a really sound technical reason for not doing it this way. I'm also dealing with the fact that another Linux box, a mail server, has been moved on to this new FIOS lan and configured using the hack that I cited in my original post, and is working quite nicely - unfortunately, I don't clearly understand how to implement that hack on Fedora, but, I'm getting the "if Jack could do this with his Debian box, why can't you with your Fedora?"....
