Hi all,

Just got the connection for our servers installed and looking for an 
answer to the one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet.

We've got a small number of office computers that currently connect via 
adsl to the internet, and our 3mb connection that just got installed for 
our servers etc.

As the 3mb connection is metered, we'd like to just run the servers on it 
and run our workstations over the existing (unmetered) adsl connection. 
The only caveat is that I'd like to also be able to access the servers 
locally, i.e. without having to go through the internet.

Can I do this by setting up a FreeBSD box as a bridge with one nic plugged 
into the office network and one plugged into the server network?

TIA,

Tom Wiebe
