Could be done with 3 routers with NAT I would think at first.
But which one of the 3 would be the gateway ?

I'll try.
3 different networks. Routers attached to leased line. With an
ethernet port to connect to.
This is the setup I had in mind:
Remember that the IP adresses of the 3 networks are fixed because of
the organisations providing the network services. There are
applications running on each of these networks. Therefore when I want
to be able to access all these applications on 1 computer I must be
able to connect to all of them (at the same time). And yes it is
TCP/IP that is used in all networks.

When I would put NAT on the ed0 interface. Shouldn't I be able to
communicate with the 3 different networks ?
The next trouble is that from these 3 networks I also want to connect
to a machine in the local network. Just to make things a bit more
complicated ;-).
Fixed translation from ip to ip would be the solution.
Anybody have any experience with this ?
I now I'm asking a lot. But it's a rather complicated situation I
think.
