This was done after the company that was providing this for a cost, went out of business. The only problem with my solution is that it requires that the guest turn DHCP on for them to get an IP address. The way the last company did it, they used a piece of software (on Linux) called InterProxy from ElasticNetworks so that even guests with static IP's set could get online without having to change anything. The only thing I can find out about how it did this was this blurb: "InterProxy accomplishes this by listening for the Address Resolution Protocol a client sends out when looking for its gateway router. In PC Week Labs' tests, the InterProxy flawlessly emulated our Internet gateway router, acting as a network translation box between the clients and the real router." Does anyone know how this can be done in FreeBSD? I did I search on ARP, PROXY, and got a bunch of pages about Linux and a program called proxyarp which was talking about subnetting a subnet, but I dont think that is what I need... Thanks in adv.
