To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org (FreeBSD Stable List) Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 06:59:24 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have 2 physicaly seperate segments of the same subnet that I need to connect logicaly. I have a FreeBSD gateway/firewall machine on both of the subnets conected to the corporate network. Specificaly, I have an existing network 170.85.106.* netmask 255.255.255.128 which connects to the corporate 170.85.113.* network this is then is routed to 170.85.109.* Now I have in my office some more machines that I need to set up for the 170.85.106 net. Is there a way to encapsulate packets on the 2 parts of the 170.85.105 network, and send them to the other part, where they would be unencapsulated? I think this is called IP Tunneling and Linux appears to support it, but I would rather not change the 2 gateway/firewall machines over to Linux, if I don't have to. I regert if you jave seen this request before, I have submited it on questions, and networking, but the only response I got was a flame about my typing. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
