I have configured a FreeBSD machine with two 3c509 network cards so that
I can use the machine as a gateway between two networks. I have NOT
enabled the GATEWAY option in the kernel, because I do NOT want packet
forwarding to take place. I simply want the machine to be able to
be directly connected to the two networks.
What I am finding is that I can talk to the primary interface,
but not the secondary. I know both cards work because I have tried
reversing their roles - and both work as the primary interface.
The setup is as follows:
gateway isolated host
----------XXXXXX-----------------XXXXXXXX
primary subnet
network
When I try to talk to (i.e. Ping) the isolated host, ping tells me that
the remote host is down (i.e. ping returns -1).
Has anyone else configured FreeBSD in this type of arrangement, i.e. has
anyone built a firewall or gateway type of arrangement with this setup?
I have checked the FAQ and found nothing applicable. It talks about
enabling the GATEWAY option in the kernel, but again, I don't want
packet forwarding to occur between the networks.
Thanks in advance.
Bill
