I dont know if you can enable a bridge in fbsd and also use the dummynet device to curve bandwidth, but what about a bridge without ips, running ipfw to curve the user's bandwidth as desired. Also, it can protect clients from attacks coming from the net. ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Psychotic Viper" <psyv@root.org.za> To: "Gideon" <h20soul@mweb.co.za> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 11:26 pm Subject: Re: FBSD box between cisco and clients > Hi, > > On Mon, 23 Jul 2001, Gideon wrote: > > > At this moment our network looks like this : > > > > Clients - Cisco Router - Internet > > > > I want to do the following > > > > Clients - FBSD - Cisco - Internet > any more info on connectivity, i.e. any routers,hubs between the fbsd box > and the client machines? > > > Every machine above including the clients have public ip's .
