Before I start ordering circuits though, I'd like to work out the logistics of combining both via a fbsd router. DSL --\ |---- FBSD---Hub--My Internal Lan Cable-/ I have never set up something like this before and am basing comments on theory. I assume I'll need to have 3 NICs in the fbsd box. I'll have to set up networks on all 3. Ok simple enough so far. What I haven't figured out yet is how routed is going to route between these 3 networks. I'm barely familiar with Cisco IOS but I know its fairly straight forward (well, .. as straight forward as cisco gets) to set up dynamic routing to solve the problem. Does routed have provisions for this kind of routing (I'd probably run the least hop routing). Is there a replacement for routed that supports more robust routing protocols (EIGRP, etc.)? I'd be very interested in hearing success (or horror?) stories on the matter.
