Well, if you can narrow down who connect on the shared connection, you can add a route for those addresses pointing to the shared connection. It's been about five years, but I used to do that, but if the only people connecting to the shared IP are on the campus net, you can add a route that looks like route add -net campus.net static.ip [campus.netmask] <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
