You'll only need one router, as the neighboring server will be directly accessible (via ethernet). Good that your brought the topic of subnetting up. I'm not going to explain it (any networking book will), for 2 hosts you'll probably need netmask 255.255.255.252. Subnet address will be 192.168.1.0, servers will have xxx.1 and xxx.2, and the broadcast address will be xxx.3. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
