Except that this doesn't work on WLAN (MAC layer done by the WLAN adapter). But probably "proxy_arp" can help here. And subnet separation, of course. Just extending the netmask a bit and enabling proxy_arp would do the job. OTOH, it's also easy to configure the routes to the other subnets via DHCP. Just a matter of taste. In any case, it only works on IP layer. -hwh -- [email protected] mailing list
