Hello everybody, Suppose I have two addresses routed to my box over a PPP interface. I have created on Host_2 a loopback interface and assigned to it Inet_addr_2. Host_1 routes to Host_2 Inet_Addr_2 and everything works if something is coming from internet to Inet_Addr_2. Host_2 has as default router rfc1918_Addr_1 and of course it uses its fxp0 address for outgoing packets. Can I somehow use lo1 address for connections initiated from Host_2? Or is there any other way of doing such a thing? Or nat is the thing to do? Router | | internet | ng0 Inet_Addr_1 Host_1 fxp0 rfc1918_Addr_1 | | rfc1918 network | fxp0 rfc1918_Addr_2 Host_2 lo1 Inet_Addr_2 Another possible sollution would be a tunnel, but I am looking for something more simple. Thanks in advance for your ideas, Nikos
