Sorry for the delay in posting this summary, I've been on holiday for a week.

My original question:

> I installed the sunlink X.25 on a SPARCserver 4/470, running Sun0S 4.1.3 to
> connect my site to the TCP/IP world.
>
> Obviuosly this server has two IP address, one related to the X.25 interface
> (std0) and another related to the standard ethernet interace (ie0).
> At the moment every packet from the outside networks is routed to the
> inside network by this server.
>
> How could I configure my server to avoid that it routes packets from the
> outside networks to the inside network unless the packets have the
> server address as their destination or their origination address ?

All the people suggested me to disable IP forwarding adding the following
line to the kernel configuration file:

options "IPFORWARDING=-1" # Never forward , see /sys/netinet/in_proto.c

I have reconfigured the kernel according to the instruction in the System
And Network Administration manual and rebooted. It seems to work.
