I might need to leave promiscious mode turned off on the external interface since it links to our backbone network, and I don't want to bog the machine down with trying to process every packet that arrives at that interface. > > For the internal network, I am going to be using a dual-port SMC card using > > the de driver.

Ok, so in my example, fxp0 would get an address from the external network, de0 would get an address from the internal network, and de1 would get no address, or would I need to give it the same address as de0? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason K.
