Hello. I currently have a 2.2.7-RELEASE system routing between a network and the rest of the internet. I would like to split the inside network into two segments and have the gateway bridge the two inside segments, in addition to routing them to the internet. I have d/l'ed Luigi's bridging patches, and read them over. Before I patch a kernel and put it into use on a production machine, I wanted to know from others how well it bridges, and routes at the same time. For the internal network, I am going to be using a dual-port SMC card using the de driver. For the internet link, I am most likely going to be using an Intel EtherExpress. Looking at the comments at the top of bridge.c, it says to give only one interface an address. If this machine is also going to route between two networks, I am going to need to assign an address to the outside interface, and an address to the inside pair, but I have absolutely no idea how this is to be accomplished. Any help/comments/pointers much appriciated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason K.
