ay want to use a tun and iptables or ip_forward/route. One idea you might try is what I suggested, but with br0 = subnetA, br0:1 = subnetB... Not sure it would work, but worth a try. Assuming your tap device is the end of an incoming VPN, the proxy arping is only necessary if you want the VPN client (the above script is for the VPN server) to be able to hit the internet through the server's gateway. Yeah, looking at the preup/postdown functions just now made me realize I wrote them a _long_ time ago. rewrite at your leisure... ;-) hth, Jason. -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
