We have a busy LAN and to protect some (primitive) mainframe ethernet interfaces (these interfaces are giving problems due to excessive traffic flowing to them) it's planned to have a router (bridge/filter OR whatever) which can route only IP traffic destined to and from mainframes. But we do not have network subnetted and have all our servers/mainframe and workstations on the same IP network. Is it possible to have a FreeBSD system with two network interfaces bridging mainframe and the rest of the network statically routing IP packets from on side to another. one side is the whole network and other side are couple of mainframe ethernet interfaces (not more than 4). Thanks in advance... Prashant. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
