I don't need the A,B and C equipments to communicate to each others. Moreover they will have the same addresses (ie. 172.16.32.1 will be found on each subnet). So these subnets should not be as one physical network. I just want to be able to access these nodes from the outside via the gateway using several address ranges. gateway (general network:GN) - eth0 eth1 ---- (equipments A: subnet= 172.16.32.0/24) node A1=172.16.32.1 node A2=172.16.32.2 eth2 ---- (equipments B: subnet= 172.16.32.0/24) node B1=172.16.32.1 (accessible from GN as 172.20.32.1) node B2=172.16.32.2 (accessible from GN as 172.20.32.2) eth3 ---- (equipments C: subnet= 172.16.32.0/24) node C1=172.16.32.1 (accessible from GN as 172.24.32.1) node C2=172.16.32.2 (accessible from GN as 172.24.32.1) Thank-you anyway. Gilles.
