Been using EFW on small networks for years and looking into using it to replace 
a couple of Cisco PIX 515E firewalls that are currently linked via VPN on a 
larger 100 user network. I'm not overly familiar with Cisco and want something 
more easily manageable. 

Using a vmware environment to test if EFW can meet the requirements before 
investing in hardware. I need to be able to setup 4 different zones with VPN 
links between some of the zones. I am trying to setup two different subnets on 
Green using two different NICs. 

Needless to say it's not working so I'm reducing to a basic config with 3 nics: 
2 green (eth0 & eth2) w/ 1 IP & 1 red (eth1) w/ 1 IP. I have an XP VM that can 
ping the green IP when it is attached to the same virtual switch as eth0 but 
can not ping the green IP when it attached to the same virtual switch as eth2. 

If I remove eth0 from the green zone then the VM can ping the green IP from the 
eth2 switch. As soon as I re-add eth0 to the green zone I'm no longer able to 
ping the green IP via the eth2 switch but can the eth0 switch. 

Next step will be to take a computer, a laptop, & a crossover cable for my 
testing but before I do I wanted to know if anybody else had tried this yet on 
2.4.1 and confirmed that it worked right.
