    Tell me what fool would agree to this setup ?
    
    This is like a "Watch me tunnel IP packets over DNS and show you how
    your firewall does not stop me hack internal boxes" where someone gets
    to pick the DNS server on the inside and outside.  Pick a vendor's
    distribution that you think will work.
    
    That brings me to another point, that was sorely missed in all the
    public material I've seen so far, except maybe by Sun (and in the
    wrong way) and that is you need a very special ftp daemon (i.e. not
    any of the vendor ones I have tried) before it will stand a chance
    of defeating IPFilter.
