Is your ISP staticlly routing them to your link side IP or is your router peering with them using some sort of routing protocol, like BGP or EIGRP?

You have 2 options: 1) Static route them with a route in the Cisco: ip route xxx.yyy.zzz.0 255.255.255.0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is IP of your BSD machine. 2) Announce the route via a routing daemon (zebra or gated) using RIP or OSPF to your router.

One point to consider is what is your Ethernet address subnet (the segement connecting your BSD machine and your router)? > > I have searched for info regarding this, but all I have found is the > man page of routed, and several unhelpful mailing list posts.

IIRC, it had security problems in the past and isn't as full featured as gated or zebra. Nick Rogness - Keep on Routing in a Free World... "FreeBSD: The Power to Serve!"
