Hi all,

One of my networks is switching to CenturyLink for their ISP. When you order 1 static IP they give you an IP, a 255.255.255.255 subnet mask but no gateway. I will put the modem in transparent bridging mode.

I'm going to have to re-configure my CARPed firewalls remotely before we make the switch but I'm not sure in this case what, if anything, I would put in /etc/mygate. The same IP address they are giving me?

The other alternative is to order a block of 8 IPs (5 usable) , in which case I'll get a gateway but I don't need an additional 4 addresses and they don't need the additional expense.

Sorry for the dumb question but I won't have a chance to test this at all before I have someone switch the ethernet cable from one modem to the other.

Thanks for any insight!

Jeff Ross
