I have a DSL connection with multiple static IP addresses at home.
The rl0/xl0 cluster is so that I can have my main home machine appear
to be directly on the Internet, even though in fact it is sitting
behind the bridge (which also functions as a firewall).
The pcn0/ed0 cluster is for the kids' machines, so they can access
services (printing, Samba, and a SquidGuard web proxy) on the bridge/
firewall machine, but without needing public IP addresses or having
any direct access to the Internet at large. "ed0" is a conventional
Ethernet card; "pcn0" does HomePNA (Ethernet over in-house phone
wiring). Right now, both kids' machines are on HomePNA, but I hope
eventually to move one or both of them to regular 10baseT if I can
manage to install some CAT-5 wiring in our house.
> Do you have the same problem in the 2nd cluster?
The kids' machines (on pcn0) have no problem contacting the bridge.
I don't currently have anything at all connected to ed0.

I haven't tried this, and (for security reasons, see above), I really
don't want to try it.
> What happens when you assign the IP to xl0 instead of rl0?
Good question. I'll try that.
