Hello, We recently had some problems with the CISCO router serving 2 class C networks. I am planning to setup a dedicated FreeBSD router as a backup to cisco one and have some questions on how to do that. Any help, pointers to information will be greatly appreciated. I have gone through archives and searched the web. But couldn't find what I needed. 1. Is it possible to have FreeBSD router work in parallel with cisco router ? What I would like to have the FreeBSD router up and running in case cisco router fails without manual intervention as I am staying far away from the network. (using routed) 2. What is the better solution for a backup router ? Natd or routed ? 3. Can a dedicated FreeBSD router replace a cisco router for medium traffic site ? (as a low priced alternative) Thanks in advance for any help, pointers. Tad. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
