Hi! I am writing this mail to U with the hope that U will surely provide me your opinion. I have following set up : - About 1200+ TCP/IP nodes - Some of these nodes have been configured as proxies for Internet access - The IP scheme which we are following is 132.147 with subnet of 255.255.0.0 - Actually we should have not used this scheme as it is not recommended for private network now obviously if a user wants to access a node with netid of 132.147 on Internet, he cannot 'cos our DNS server treats this as a local IP. With the given IP scheme is there a method by which I can still access the nodes on Internet whose IP's netid is same as ours ? Is there any firewall technique to handle this ? We have constraint to change our IP scheme also. Pls advise ! I'll be obliged. Any pointers ? Thanx and regds Rajesh e-mail : rajeshs%niitdel@iris.ernet.in cc to : rajeshsri@hotmail.com
