Yes, there are 3 networks (LAN, VPN, and 'Net) but ... On the WAN side, from service provider (SP) - VPN and Internet traffic comes over the same link. The media conversion is done by the SP's modem (located at customer site) to ethernet frames that come out of *one* RJ45 port. From what the provider has told me, there are 2 subnet traffic (VPN and Internet) on the same media fabric. Therefore, my thinking is to define two IP addresses on the same physical iface (e.g. eth1 and eth1:0); one for the VPN and one for the 'Net traffic. On the standard Linux distros this can be done very easily. In Vyatta, I have noticed that any system configuration can be done only through it's "configure" command. I have posted this query in the Vyatta forum as well. Will post if I can find any solution. If not then I am going ahead with a Debian install :) -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
