I got caught-out when I did this as I had a number of customers who couldn't access my dns servers when they were connected to a LAN cause they were using the same RFC1918 addresses for their local network..... Just a thought, if you do this I would recommend that you pick a fairly obscure 192.168 address, not 10.x.x.x as the default subnet mask gives you a better chance of not using the same subnet as customers local networks, do NOT pick 10.0.0.x for example as everyone with MS SBS will suffer :-> Cheers Phil To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
