i will have a need for 4 nics on 4 unique networks physically separated so no chance of combining them on one nic.
will the guests work fine on this? i know i had trouble in the past running a dedicated machine on multiple networks. any given guest will be a member of a single network therefore will access only a single nic. my concern is the host routing. previously when i did this only members of the networks that were not assigned to eth0 could reach them. the outside could not. each network of course has its own unique gateway and netmask example.. the 4 nics will be required to access 64.113.32.0/23 gw 32.1 64.113.34.0/24 gw 34.1 64.113.39.0/24 gw 39.1 172.30.x.x/24 pvt network gw 0.1 the first 3 must be reachable via the outside.. can this be accomplished properly? i personally cannot comprehend why the network/gateway limitations are there. if each nic is on a separate network it should be able to have its own default gateway for that network regardless of other nics. -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
