Unfortunately, I seem to have tempoarily overstepped the bounds of my cognitive ability, and I need a bit of hand holding here. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me in the man pages, but I can't see it for looking. Here's the situation: I have 2 networks, our office clients (for surfing) and our servers (for serving, obviously). The office is running of of an unmetered ADSL connection, whereas the servers are on a big, fat, metered connection. I'd like to be able to have a router or bridge between the 2, so we could admin our servers and get our email behind the firewall, that kind of thing. I'd also like to close up the couple of holes I've left to the outside world from the servers (tb2 on our macs and ssh on our bsd boxes) and allow myself to sleep a little sounder at night. Here's an ASCII Diagram of what I'd like to have: ADSL Fibre | | Router Router | | -------------------- ----------------- | | | | | | | | | | | Clients... | | Servers... 192.168.0.x +- bridge/ -+ 192.168.1.x router I've got an extra PC with 3 nics, and just need a basic WTF do I do to make this work. Once I get the basics down, I'm sure I can fancy it up as much as I need over time. I'm wanting to ideally have this behind the router on both sides as I'm not confident enough in my BSD knowledge to want to put a box naked on the net quite yet. The missing piece just needs to route packets between the 2 private networks.
