> Thanks, Matt. It would be ideal to have them all on the same network. Just follow Matt's instructions then and remember to add an iptables rule to do masquerading (NAT). Note also that the combined inter-NIC speed of communication is limited by the router, in this case the net5501. So if hosts A, B, C, and D are on internal bridged interfaces eth1, eth2, eth3 and eth4 respectively, hosts A and B will see a maximum of ~80-100 Mbps of duplex throughput. Meanwhile, if C starts talking to D while A is still talking to B, the total combined throughput is still capped to that same 80-100 Mbps limitation. This is in contrast to a non-blocking switch that can maintain wirespeed performance on all ports simultaneously. Just so you know. db _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
