Hi all,

FreeBSD is running so spendidly well that I am connecting another
roomfull of Macs to it. 

( FBSD runs apache, squid, telnet, and connects to the 
internet via modem and ppp. Netatalk is going as well.)

This means I will then have two networks hanging off the one
FBSD machine. Each network gets its own ethernet
card on FBSD.

Thinking only about IP for the moment (appletalk later):
    The original room had addresses:
           192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
    The new room will have addresses:
            192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254

The FBSD box, will have addresses 192.168.1.1
and 192.168.2.1.

This is OK, isn't it?
Obviously I will have to add an ifconfig for the new card in 
rc.conf as 192.168.2.1 

Now, I want machines in one room to be able to 
talk TCP/IP to machines in the other room. This
means I have to configure FBSD to act as a
router. Yes?

And the easy way I do it is with "route", yes?

No doubt it is simple, but I can't make head
or tail of the "route" man page.

"route add " is as far as I get.

Help!

Thanks in advance.
Eddie.
