-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have two FreeBSD-7.1 servers in a data-center hosted. Both servers have two em[01] gigabit network links. First server's (call it "first") em0 is connected to the data-centers internet uplink - the em1 is connected to the seconds servers (call it "second") em1. first's /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_em0="inet 212.144.103.230 netmask 255.255.254.0" defaultrouter="212.144.102.1" ifconfig_em1="inet 192.168.102.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" seconds's /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_em1="inet 192.168.102.131 netmask 255.255.255.0" In this way the 192.168.102/24 network is for private connection between the two servers and "second" is not connected to the internet at all. Since i would have to pay extra charges to get the "second" server also connected to the internet, i thought of bridging the em0 and em1 of "first" and to alias another ip for the second server (i have more ip's in the data-center left) on "seconds" em1. Is this possible? What would i have to setup? The private 192.168.102/24 network should remain intakt! I just want to bridge "seconds" em1-MAC to the data-centers switch-port which is connected to "first" em0. Any help? Or is this not possible?
