But if you are going to do that, you probably wouldn't need (or want) the IP addresses to be modified in the packets - you'd make it work at layer 2 and use a switch with a monitor port (or for lower bandwidth, an old fashioned hub) to fan out copies of the packets. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
