First off, please format your posts to the mailing list in plain-text
format, not HTML.
I have a similar setup with FreeBSD servers (as in multiple) with
Windows98 workstations for Samba and what-not. Anyways, the particular
BSD box I'll use in this example has two NICS in it, one for WAN the
other for LAN, and it's setup as such (excuse the lame ASCII drawing):
+-- NIC 1 --> WAN (dynamic IP)
BSD ---|
+-- NIC 2 --> LAN (192.168.1.1) -----+
|
+
10/100 SWITCH
+
|
Client 1 (192.168.1.2/192.168.1.1[gw]) --+
|
Client 2 (192.168.1.3/192.168.1.1[gw]) --+
|
Client 3 (192.168.1.4/192.168.1.1[gw]) --+
(and so on and so forth, netmask is 255.255.255.0)
Now, on the LAN side of the equation above, all the client boxes fall
into the same subnet (192.168.1.*) with their default gateway pointing
to the LAN NIC in the BSD box.
Now you don't have to use 192.168.x.x you could use 10.x.x.x or even
172.x.x.x (any reserved IP block is fine) ... As long as your gateway
jives you shouldn't have a problem. Just make sure you subnet
correctly so that you don't run out of IP space.
Hope that helps.
