Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be missing my
point. I am familiar with how to do what you are suggesting.
Here's the deal: I want to allow 3 different LANs to access the web,
but not each other. This part is no big deal. I have a linux box
that will be this interface. This box will tie into another machine,
which is already doing this. But here's where it gets interesting:
I want each machine in the 3 different LANs to show up as unique
IPs on my masq box (NOT the box they are connected to). I know
this isn't the normal setup, and that's probably why people are
getting confused.
================ ==============
LAN 1 ----| Box in | | Masq box |
| question here| | |
LAN 2 ----| (switch?) |-------------|(monitoring |---> the
| | | software) | internet
LAN 3 ----| IPCHAINS?? | | |
================ ==============
I need the monitoring software on the Masq box to be able to record usage for each
individual client in LAN 1, LAN 2, and LAN 3, not just the cumulative total of all LAN
x clients (which would happen if I were running Masquerading on that box).
Anybody got an idea?
Bob
