Works fine. I do that all the time. It's called multinet. Remember that Switches are layer 2, they don't care what addresses you might be using. For performance reasons, some may elect to put two nic's in the linux server, connect one of them to the DSL router to do NAT and possibly proxy/cache internet traffic - but you do not have to. wilson -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shiraz Baig Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 2:31 AM To: redhat Subject: Two subnets thru same wire Sir, Mr Ed Greshko has reminded me about academic questions. I agree with him. But it is not purely an academic question, as would be clear from following real life situation of my office. BTW, I have read, everything about ARP, MAC address and how things work on wire. But I thought, I must also also ask experts. Here is the configuration that we have in our office. This configuration is also working. Switch _______________ | | | | | | | | | ---- DSL Router ---- Internet | | | | 203.147.175.12 | | | | | | | ----------Mail Server (multihomed) | | | 203.147.175.13 | | | 192.168.10.3 | | | | | -------- 192.168.10.4 | ----------- 192.168.10.5 ---------------- Hub & computers of address 192.168.10.* You see, there are two class C networks. One is that of 203.147.175.0 The other is 12.168.10.0. Both these networks are passing thru same switch. I just wanted to be sure that there is nothing wrong with this configuration. So, I would request your comments please. bye shiraz __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
