So I will have two gateway routers from my Telco each with their own /24 subnet. I will be splitting my equipment and clients across the two subnets. I also have a bandwidth limiting appliance in my present T1, and will be adding a second bandwidth limiting appliance to the second T1. http://www.netequalizer.com I have 7 servers which the clients need access to, and to which I do not require bandwidth limiting. What's the best way to share these servers with the two Class-C's? I thought of installing dual NIC's in each server and plug them all into a common switch and let the ARP system figure it all out. Will this work? Is there a better way? Thanks, Jim
