hi list

i'm looking for a little advice here.
i've got a fbsd server conected to the internet via rl0. there are about 30
workstation in 192.168, fbsd does nat for, those are connected via rl1.
now, on rl1, behind nat there's also a win2k server in here which should
soon get connected to the internet, too (being accessible from the
internet). i don't want to plug the win2k server next to the fbsd box into
our isp's router. this way i'd had to set up an extra firewall on the win2k
box, instead i'd like all connection to and from the internet with the win
server to go through my existing ruleset on the fbsd box, leaving the win
server on the inside interface rl1.
just assiging one of the official ip's to the win box didn't work, so i was
doing some reading and found out that bridging seemed to be the way to go.
now i wonder: those how-to's say it's not nescessary to assign an ip to both
interfaces, but i definitly still need an ip from the 192.168 subnet on the
inside interface. just as the win2k box still needs to stay accessible with
it's 192.168 adress.
so...is it possible this way, or would it be far smarter to plug a third nic
into the fbsd box only for bridging ?

thanks for any advice

best regards
jonas
