Sorry about that, got dropped at some point (I get so much email I can't possibly reply to it all, this fell through at some point). Document I spoke of is now available here: http://doc.pfsense.org/multiple-subnets-one-interface-pfsense.pdf I already wrote the code to support this in the GUI for 1.3. It needs some finishing touches, but it works already (aside from removing IPs when they're deleted). The reason it's not supported to date is it shouldn't be done this way, two IP subnets on the same broadcast domain is considered poor network design. Cisco does not support secondary addresses on PIX/ASA, for one example. But it is more commonly needed in routers for a variety of reasons, and pfSense is getting used more and more as a router, so it was something we saw the need to implement. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
