Just saw Marc Rassbach's posting about FreeBSD-2.2.6 + natd + SKIP.
I tried to get natd and SKIP to coexist on FreeBSD-2.2.5 and got an
instant panic. I'm successfully using SKIP without natd on 2.2.5 now.
The setup is:
ISP feeds ISDN router, which is connected to one NIC on old P90 running
FreeBSD-2.2.5.
Second NIC on FreeBSD system is connected to an RFC-1918 LAN.
The remote network has a T1 from the Internet, again routed to a
FreeBSD SKIP gateway fronting another RFC-1918 LAN.
Both LANs have Unix and Win32 hosts.
Performance of SKIP is very good - throughput is just as good as
non-SKIP traffic and the link between sites feels like a dedicated WAN
connection.
I'm interested in enabling natd on the gateway to allow general
Internet access for the private LAN, in addition to the tunnel
provided by SKIP. Can anyone tell me if this should work with 2.2.6?
Other suggestions?
For now, the gateway on the ISDN system proxies individual services.
