Hello all, Happy Easter to all and I really enjoy reading this mailing list. I have a question about IPFW. Let's say I have a FreeBSD box with two NICs (as normal people do): xl0 is with @HOME and xl1 is for the LAN (192.168.1.x). Since Cable is just for speed, I plan to have a DSL line as a backup and running other services while it is not backup for the Cable. Can I just add another NIC as xl2? Here is my plan: xl0=DHCP from Cable xl1=192.168.1.1 (DHCPD) xl2=DSL.DSL.DSL.DSL On the rc.conf, command out the xl2 default router, has NATD and rc.firewall uses the xl0 as its interface. Then when cable is down, uncommand the entry for xl0, uncommand the xl2 default router, and change the interface from NATD and rc.firewall xl2; reboot the router. Will it work? However, in this way, I cannot use the DSL line (since I have to command out the default router).. Any other idea? I do not want to add another box? I just want to add DSL line as the backup (I love the Cable Modem speed 3M for downloading)....
