Okay, I want to set up a firewall on my Apache Server... Which do I want to use IPTables, IPChains, or something else? Am I even going about this in the right way?

I am using Aphach 2.something and Red Hat Linux 9.

Thanks

I'll second that. We use APF and it works exceptionally well.

Yeah, APF is a good solution.

Here's a tip for you: When you set up your new firewall, make sure that you have it configured to allow your ssh port (TCP port 22 unless you've changed it.) before you enable it. (Not that I've ever forgotten to do that.... ;) )

thanks again, APF was very easy to setup, much easier then IPChains.
