I have two servers at home connected via a cross-over cable. One is suppose= d to be a web server and thus connected to the outside world. The second a = database server not visible to the outside world. How do I connect these two boxes together so that they can talk to one anot= her? I am a newbie and have not understood the various Dual Homed Hosts examples= and ifconfig. Is there simpler way using the hosts/networks or rc.conf files?
