Hi all, After hours of banging my head against the wall trying to solve this problem, I thought I'd ask the gurus out there for some assistance. I have a multi-homed freebsd box I'd like to use as a firewall/gateway. Here's the way I want to set it up: router (XXX.XXX.XXX.254) | | point to point link | | NIC1 (XXX.XXX.XXX.1) gateway NIC2 (XXX.XXX.XXX.2) | | LAN I've only got one C class and people have said you can't put the same network on two interfaces...others say that a point to point link should work (its easily done with Linux). I figure ifconfig spits up at me cause I don't have the syntax righ for the point to point right. Can someone show me how to do this? Can this be done by adding static routes in a particular order. Any advice would be much appreciated. -- Jeff Newton Systems Administrator Tantalus Communications Datapark Internet Services Inc.
