I might have worded it wrong. my vcl frontend will have two nic cards ..what are acceptable addresses for those Nics for private and public. I'm under the impression that one nic will have like a 192.168.X.X but will be connected to public network or users from the outside will go to www.myvlc.whatever and it will be natted to the 192.168.X.X nic of the front end. Am I getting this right?
