Wit ha bunch of caveats (you're using NAT, both lines terminate in the FreeBSD server, you only care about outgoing traffic, the IP's you have on both lines are in a nice contigious mini subnet, etc) you could probably do somethign like this using IPF's ipnat: map rl1 internal.ip.net.work/24 -> external.sub.net.block/30 portmap tcp/udp auto (See http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.html#TOC_31 for more details). - Tillman -- "You should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die." -- Fremen saying To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
