yes, there is a better way.. you can have multiple IP's assigned to one ethernet card...
so for example: eth0 = 203.59.87.254 eth0:0 = 203.59.6.252 eth0:1 = xxx.xxx.xx.xxx eth1: some other IP. eth1:1 another IP. I have a linux box with three network cards in it.. 1 is for the ADSL connection and hosting the live public IP's associated with it. 2 is for a 192.168.0.0/24 network 3 is for a 10.0.x.x network... using /etc/sysconfig/static-routes you can make the whole lot talk to each other.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Belkie, Dan Sent: Sunday, 1 December 2002 8:58 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [expert] 4 LAN cards Hey Guys! Ok I have a box, acting as a firewall / router. All is good. It has 2 NIC cards in it of course.... Ok now I might be going way out, and maybe someone can tell me a better way to do this....... I have 2 static IP's and I want them both to run into the same box. I want to put 4 NIC cards in the box. 2 (1 for each static IP) and 2 for non-routable. The reason for this... I want to have some mail servers and webservers on one network (192.168.0.1) and then have another network for the office (10.10.10.1) I would like to have my office people able to surf the net and be on a dif subnet then the webservers.. so no one monkeys around.... Is this a good way to do it? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Dan
