We have a business DSL connection which is bridged ethernet (dc1), we also= =20 have a class C routed via gif. Recently the ISP changed things slightly and= =20 now all our out bound traffic has to travel over the gif tunnel instead of= =20 dc1 like it used to. The problem is that because gif0 has no address assigned to it any packets= =20 originating from the machine that are not specifically bound to an IP don't= =20 get assigned an IP before they travel over the tunnel (since it has no=20 address). I am wondering what the "right" solution is here - I guess I could assign a= n=20 IP to the tunnel but it seems like a bit of a waste.. Anyone have any suggestions? Please CC me as I'm not on -net.
