You should be able to set it up so that you only have to use different *IP addresses* on each interface. FreeBSD should then forward packets between the interfaces if you've built your kernel with the GATEWAY options. If you setup in this way, you will probably have to build arp tables for all hosts on the local subnet that the two hosts connected to ether1 want to get to. Also, unless you want people to see your system with the two interfaces as a router, you'll need to go in and change the kernel code so that it does not decrement the TTL value of packets it passes. -matt -- Matthew C.
