One thing for anyone who wants to know. Sorry to confuse this thread more. Geoff made the statement that you would need two nic's to create a gateway. Others have eluded to this also. This is not needed. Unless you are going to be using dhcp on the local subnet you can just use one card to do this job. You would use the ip aliasing support in the kernel to give two addresses to one interface. I am sure who ever would be doing this gateway project would get the rest. Not the best solution for some people but hey it works. Not very secure either. FC
