I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the routing of 2 ISA nics on one FreeBSD machine? One of my working collegues said that I should have a separate loopbacl address for each NIC interface as I've tested it before with ping (each nick plugged to a different port of a hub) and when I ping the second nic's ip address, the first nic responds! :| My co-worker recommended something like this: loopback for ep0: 127.0.0.1 loopback for ep1: 127.1.0.1 .... loopback for ep2: 127.2.0.1 ... and so forth. Is this correct? If so how do I make it so? By editing /etc/rc.conf ? I would need an example. Thanks for all help!
