Loved the Sesame Street comment!! Never thought of the interface colors in IPCOP like that. Now that I have stopped laughing I guess from reading your email that this is indeed possible to do what I want.
Do you know of a "how to" to do this so that I do not mess it up in setting this up?

No, we expect our users to not be avvid watchers of sesame street (unless you have kids of course). All joking aside, we have the mandatory WAN and LAN interfaces and you can add "Optional" interfaecs by visiting Assign interfaces. You could for instance add an optional interface to be an additional WAN, routed subnet, etc. Scott
