@Lumi Shorewall is an tool to build rules for iptables. It uses the same model for rule sets as I see in your description above. I pointed to the documentation as it describes this sort of configuration.

comment Allow IP packet forwarding from LAN to modem via router
@Lumi As all your ports have the same MAC address, the WAN and LAN ports are would be on the same network. Normally, routes like this have two default VLANs configured. Try ifconfig | less to get a list of configured network devices.

comment What is the best File system for NFS?
@Karlson NFS is not a good platform for builds, especially the tempfiles that can be generated. I have had a single build cause problems on a production system. There are alternative mechanism to having developers to frequent clean builds on their environment. I've worked with a large team successfully using NFS for their home directories.

comment Best way to find out what Linux Version is used on a Webserver
The URL doesn't tell you anything about the O/S you are connecting to. The response headers may tell you what O/S is in use, or they may provide a complete falsehood if the administrator chooses.
