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?
