Hi
We've been experimenting with FreeBSD and like what we have seen so. We
are now starting to move our servers from Linux to FBSD.
We have 2 networks, one Unix based for the Internet '194.207.68-69 real
ip numbers', the other Novel based '194.168 pvt network ip numbers'. The
194.168 network is blocked on our routers to disable access from the
Internet. We use muticasting on a Linux box so that users on the Novel
network can still browse the web and ftp. There is a Linux how-to that
shows you how to set these things up. Is there something similar for FBSD?
---Internet--[routers]
|
|
[Our Network] ----- [multi-cast box/
real ip no's router/firewall]
|
|
[private network]
194.168 no's
The faq just shows:
"9.14. How do I enable IP multicast support?
Multicast host operations are fully supported in FreeBSD 2.0 by
default. If you want your box to run as a multicast router, you will
need to load the ip_mroute_mod loadable kernel module and run mrouted."
which doesn't tell you how to load the modules or give a basic config
example :(
Regards,
Anthony
