Here's the situation: We have a network subnetted into 8 parts, with a T1 to the internet. We would like to connect some of our neighbors networks in our building to take advantage of our T1, but due to security, and just plain admin. issues, we don't want them to be on our same class c, and we don't really want to assign them their own. I don't even want them on our physical network (plugged into our hubs). I've been looking at natd and fwtk to see if that would be a good way to set these folks up. My idea was that I could attach their network to a NIC in a FreeBSD box, and setup natd to translate ip's for their NIC/network in that FreeBSD box. I could have one NIC for each of these networks. It sounds OK in theory, but I'm tripping at the very first steps, and I think I'm missing peices. Should this work or am I insane? The main issue is to protect our network from theirs. I don't want one of them to be able to access any of our machines by changing the ip on their machine, etc.. Drew
