Yes. Unfortunately, though, I was not able to get it to work. I also tried using a combination of macvlan and ebtables, but I couldn't get my firewall to use the second MAC address for the separate IP address. For the time being, I'm not working on it and not worrying about it. Thankfully, my current ISP doesn't care or mind if I use one MAC for multiple static IP's. If and when this does become a problem for me, I'll probably try experimenting with Xen (per Russel Riley's idea). -- Rich Wales === Palo Alto, CA, USA === [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.richw.org === http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Richwales ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
