(there are 8 sales reps for now) Customer's head office (HO) requires each sales rep to connect to HO through a VPN. HO will only accept one VPN from any given IP address. Therefore each sales rep needs their own IP address (You can't put several behind a NAT (simple cable modem home router)). HO also requires each sales rep to be NATed/firewalled. I have a Netopia R910 router that can do this with 8 static public IP addresses - map them 1 to 1. The static IP addresses will cost over $450.00/month (TelCo) whereas I can get 8 dynamic addresses for $100/month (DHCP assigned) (Cable modem). So, I want to map the 8 private addresses to 8 public, dynamic addresses. A device like the R910 only has one external MAC address so it can only grab one dynamic address. I would like to build a basic FBSD box to do this. So I need a network card that has 4 to 8 MAC addresses so that it can grab 8 DHCP assigned addresses and then I want to map them to the 8 internal addresses. Any suggestions for appropriate cards? How about BSD configuration (I think I'll be able to figure this out but hints will still be appreciated)? A NIC with 8 MAC addresses available on one physical port would be great cause otherwise I'd have to take the multiple ports into a hub to connect to the cable modem (or DSL if we end up going that way). thank you, Shannon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
