Firewall routing! Message-ID: <mvhE532G0.K6J@netcom.com> Organization: Netcom On-Line Services X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 14:47:59 GMT Lines: 26 Sender: mvh@netcom18.netcom.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35111 I'm having the following problem: I'm trying to go from ext. net ---> router <--- internal net to ext. net ---> router <--- freebsd machine ---> internal net where I of course have two ethernet cards on the freebsd machine. The router currently has a *.1 address, the freebsd machine currently has a *.15 address, and the interl net has addresses all over the place. I would like to keep the external address of the freebsd *.15 because that's where mail is set up to go. I can use anything for the internal address. Also, the router is administered by our ISP and I would just as soon leave it alone. So, is it possible to do the above without changing any addresses? Would I have to add static routes? I'm not sure I can do it, but it would be a pain to reconfig half of our network to support this... Mike Harding
