> Btw what happens on my linux box? It won't know who is who of the two and things will behave very odd for those stations. To get around this you need to use a vlan per port, and some advanced connection marking and policy routing on the linux box to route each to their correct port (vlan). This will work most of the time, but it can not be 100% guaranteed and will fail if the two stations choose the same source port while talking to the same destination at the same time..
Good idea. I'm not a linux-marker-expert; but can my box NAT connections coming from two different vlans, even if they come from identical ips (but of course from different macs)? Or the NAT connections will go crazy? Can u explain in few words what would be your idea about marking and routing? I would have to use 802.1p VLANs and then create an interface in LINUX for every VLAN? Then, an independent NAT is applied to every interface, so that if two identical IPs come from different VLANs, their NATTing will not collide? What happens if i have an access point connected at my network too, and i want to perform the same task on wireless connected devices? I suppose that all the traffic coming from that AP will be tagged with the same value, so that i cannot identify every independent flow, right? Well, thanks a lot for your answer.
