next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've got a class C network and want to setup ipfw on a FreeBSD 4.0 box with
2 NIC's. I'm looking for configuration options and based on what I've found
in the mailing list archives is that I can either divide the class C up into
subnets or run natd and give private ip's to all machines on the "inside"
network.
I am looking at the following layout:
Cisco 675 DSL Router ---> FreeBSD box ---> internal network
fxp0 fxp1
I would rather not assign all internal machines private ip addresses. I
would also rather not divide a class C up into subnets and waste a bunch of
ip's. Are there any other options? If not, I will proceed with dividing
the class C in half. I've searched through the archives and it is unclear
as to what I need to do in order to pass traffic from one NIC to the other.
Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
-Eric
