Lynn, Maybe I'm hiking off in the wrong direction. I wanted to have a MASQ'd windows net, and 3 Internet Servers (WWW/DNS, SMTP/DNS, WWW) connected via a Bering RC3 firewall to a Cable modem on the Internet. I assumed (yes, I know what it stands for) that to do that I would need 5 IP's in the same subnet, with the firewall eth0 being the connection to the INTERNET, and eth2 being the "gateway" for the servers to toss their data to. eth3 would service the MASQ'd boxes. When it was all running I was gonna TRY to config eth1 as a backup net connection, perhaps using DSL or ISDN.
Is there a better plan? The Cable Co will sell me 5 IP's, but they may NOT be in a sub-net and they have to be issued at least once thru their DHCP server, to avoid conflicts with their other clients. I've never tried routing individual, non-related IP's thru a firewall... Thank you for your time. I DO APPRECIATE the prompt, and mostly accurate support this group provides. Perhaps some day I can assist, when I've a bit more experience in this specific arena. (I'm not afraid of writing technical documentation.)
