Ok, you have 30 ips assigned by your ISP on your external nic. Gotcha.

Any help would be appreciated! > Are these new ips all public ips assigned from your ISP? Will some of these public ips be used on machines behind the internal backup nic? Since you have 30 ips on one nic you are well aware of ifconfig fxp0 alias 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.255 type of usage... How about describing your goals better and maybe I can help. m > > > > -- > http://www.6s-gaming.com - your online store! > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
