I have a situation where I have a FreeBSD network connected to the
'net from one ISP currently but I am going to be getting another
connection -soon- and I would like any pointers to any information or
even better an example of how to make the following scenario work.
Currently I have 3 domains hosted on a 5 machine 100-baseTX,
full-duplex switched LAN like this:
<horrible ascii art>
'net
|
aaa.bbb.25.2/27 (gw pn0 )
|
[FreeBSD gateway box]
______________|____________________
| |
aaa.bbb.26.88/29 (gw pn1 ) aaa.bbb.26.96/29 (gw pn1 alias)
|______________________________|
|
___________switch_____________
| | | | | | | |
The rest of the LAN
</horrible ascii art>
This works. I'm going to be getting this though and I've searched the
'net to little extent on how to make it work:
<horrible ascii art>
'net 'net
____| |____
| |
aaa.bbb.25.2/27 (gw pn0 ) ccc.ddd.78.62/30 (unknown card)
|_____________________________________________|
|
[FreeBSD gateway box]
______________|_____________________
| | |
aaa.bbb.26.88/29 (gw pn1 ) | ccc.ddd.72.144/25 (gw pn1 alias)
aaa.bbb.26.96/29 (gw pn1 alias)
|
___________switch____________
| | | | | | | |
The rest of the LAN
(which will also need to answer to IP's in the ccc.ddd.72.144/25 netblock)
</horrible ascii art>
HOW can I make this happen? I have to do something with the default
route, yes? But what else? I want the machines to be able to answer on
both (well, all three) subnets for an unknown time until the new 'net
has "proven" itself. (It's a totally new installation and I have heard
of other people on this new hardware having problems too.)
(Please forgive the horrible ascii "art" but I think it helps get the
point across, yes?)
