Guilmette on Sun, Aug 01, 1999 at 05:45:58PM -0700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG If you want general purpose routing info, consult http://www.cisco.com. However, if you do not have a solid knowledge of IP, I would recommend TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1 by W. Rirchard Stevens. If you want more detailed info on routing, and different protocols, there are many books available, just take your pick. On Sun, Aug 01, 1999 at 05:45:58PM -0700, Ronald F.
