Thanks, Its much easier with routing. Do you really need bridging ? i.e. are you running non routed protocols like IPX/netbeui or Appletalk that must be = in the same broadcast domain as the other side of the firewall ? If not, = just use routing. Its much easier to manage. Besides, it sort of defeats the point of the firewall if you still share the same broadcast domain as the other side. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) =09 Sentex Communications Corp, =09 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers=20 could setup a national IP network."
