What you are doing wont work as every machine has to have an individual ip address unless your talking multicast If you are trying to provide some fault tolerance eg two routers you should look at using carp. This will aloow you to have a floating ip between two or more machines. Only one machine has it at any one time though. rg wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to get two machines on the LAN share the same IP address > assigned by DHCP server by using the bridge interface in rc.conf.
