Dear Eliot, thx for the explanations..i'll try the transparent firewall setup and tell you how it goes. However, I would like to know how you would have set routing for a topology like the one below using bonding, where S1, S2 and S3 are servers (Layer 3 devices), and not firewalls. ______________ _____________ | | | | | eth1|-------|eth0 S1 | | | |_____________| PC_A--| | | | _____________ |eth0 PC_B eth2|-------|eth0 S2 | | | |_____________| | | | | _____________ | eth3|-------|eth0 S3 | |______________| |_____________| Warm regards, Visham _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
