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. > Do you have the same problem without clustering? I.e., make > the bridge do all 4 interfaces at once. 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.
