Hello misc@,

I don't know if this is really a packet filtering, or DMZ kind of
query. What I've looked at so far (eg:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/queueing.html) doesn't really describe
what I'm trying to do. I hope someone can help.

I have a range (a /28) of real IP addresses. The openbsd box (4.0,
soon to be upgraded to 4.4) functions as a firewall/router. It
forwards packets to the speedtouch router that manages the connection.
All the speedtouch router does is to accept traffic for this range, it
does not do NAT. presently the openbsd box nats everything.

The openbsd box sits behind the router. It has 4 NICs in it:

fxp0 to the speedtouch
fxp1 for a network that I want to be unfiltered, in other words, real
IPs (wired)
fxp2 the top usable real IP - this I want to nat behind, it is for wireless
fxp3 is unused.

Is this a DMZ for fxp1? I don't need this traffic to be processed by
the openbsd box, I just want it to go down the right interface. From
what I've read, a DMZ involves some queuing/processing. Not sure if my
nomenclature is right for what I'm describing. Is there a howto for
what I'm trying to do? Do I have to split the /28?

many thanks
