"Ethernet WAN" is a contradiction in terms, but I understand what you = mean. We use dual-Ethernet routers all the time on our wireless service = - one interface connects to the radio ethernet bridges, the other to the = customer's LAN. I believe cable modem boxes also have ethernet = interfaces but I can't verify that until service gets down my road in = June... :-( The only criteria for your application is that the router supports all = of the usual routing protocols on the ethernet interface. I'm not aware = of any that don't.=20 Regards, David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
