Hi : I am still trying to set up my dual homed host. This article is a very good description of what I would like to achieve: <http://www.freebsddiary.org/ip-address-change.php>; & <http://www.freebsddiary.org/ip-address-change2.php>; Yet it is not working for me. I would like to share with you my guess : if my alias was a public IP then the set up could/should work, but as the alias is a private IP behind NAT abd a firewall, there is another issue, but which one ? -- Robert Puyol On Saturday, May 17, 2003, at 11:18 PM, Robert Puyol wrote: > Hi: > > My setup is: one FreBSD server, one interface, two ISP, each providing > a router.
