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
