Hello all!

This message may not belong on hackers, but I'm not sure where it DOES
belong  ;-)  so...

I am looking for information on setting up FreeBSD 2.2-960612-SNAP (or
really any of the 2.2 line) to route IPX.  I can't seem to locate anything
in the archives or manual.  If someone would help to set me straight I
would be MORE than willing to write up something for the FAQ/manual. 

My goal is to have IPX routed between two ethernet networks (one is an IP
subnet of the primary class C IP network) which are connected via a PPP
link.  The PPP link has FreeBSD 2.2 boxes at either end doing routing and
proxyarping.

I know this will entail the following:

1) Assigning IPX network.address numbers to both interfaces on either side
of the link.

2) Running IPXrouted on both boxes.

3) Praying nothing goes awry and screws the campus IPX network by passing
bad RIP info.

It seems to me that doing an

ifconfig ed0 ipx class-c-netaddress.mac-address-of-enet-card
ifconfig tun0 ipx class-c-netaddress.arbitraryaddress1

on the main box and an

ifconfig tun0 ipx subnet-netaddress.arbitraryaddress2
ifconfig ed0 ipx subnet-netaddress.mac-address-of-enet-card

on the remote box and then running IPXrouted should do it.  Is this the
case?
