OK I forgot to fix that. the ifupdown program is using both ifconfig (that is why ifconfig is provided with Bering right now) and route (I forgot that one). I plan to modify ifupdown so that it only uses ip. Rather than using route you could use a command like up ip route ... in your interface file Check the interfaces example file http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/interfaces_network.examples > To boot bering I don't use a floppy but the harddisk (it boots faster).

I will investigate that. Also note that your shorewall setup will have to be modified to accomodate the three interfaces setup. Use the three-interfaces template available in the SHorewall web site. I will extend my documentation on this issue. Thanks for your useful comments Jacques
