I'll close some holes here... On Sat, 7 Feb 1998, John Goerzen wrote: > Does FreeBSD have: > > * IP masquerading support? Yes, we call it IP Aliasing but you get the idea. > * Transparent proxying?

If you want to use that, we have BSDi's rundos if you run -current. > * Support for multiple ethernet cards in a single computer? ``as many as you can stuff in a box'' is the best response I've heard in a while. :) > * Any support (even read-only) for ext2fs? They say yes. > * Support for SCSI Generic devices, eg, for use with cdrecord? Yes, but we'll recognize them as CDs and let cdrecord do the rest. > * Support for removable SCSI devices (eg, the Iomega Jaz)? And along > the same lines, support for connecting or disconnecting a device > to the SCSI card while the system is running? #1 - yes assuming your SCSi controller likes them. #2, runtime reprobe is back in -current after a brief respite. It depends on what you intend on doing. Adding disks to the system at runtime can have potentially serious side effects if the new device pushes all the disks over by virtue of SCSI addresses. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.
