Greetings!
New to FreeNAS and was reading through the online user guide. Something struck me as odd and I wondered about the philosophy behind FreeNAS. Where is it expected live? What is its purpose? I thought FreeNAS was primarily a LAN-based server OS, and that its purpose is to provide LAN services. Some examples:

I thought FreeNAS was primarily a LAN-based server OS, and that its purpose is to provide LAN services. Some examples:
- Why does the Dynamic DNS service exist? Who has a ISP who, when providing minimal broadband service, rents you a modem with no router function? And given that, who sets their FreeNAS box with more than 1 network card and setup to be a router or firewall?
- Why are there only clients for directory services? For example why is there no LDAP server available? That's a beautiful LAN function.
Just wondering.
