While any simulation by definition will not be as good as a real-world test, a lot of negative (i.e. failure) testing can be done in the cloud with much faster test / debug / fix cycle times than in a real-world deployment. Happy to help with iptables config. if there is interest... Regards, Gary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
