We have a network that contains several large virtual web hosting systems, as well as our workstations. We are fortunate to have grown to the point that we've used up our class C network and need to add another. However, I'm confused as to how it will be routed. What I want to do is add a couple more machines that will use the new class C addresses and hang everyone off the same hub. However, these machines would have to communicate with the machines on the old address block. How to I tell the FreeBSD boxes that particular networks should be looked for directly on the local net, rather than being handed off to the T1 router? I would think that the router (Cisco 2501) could be configured to bounce the packet back onto the network. But I don't think it would be a good idea to run all inter-network trafffic through the router. I'm thinking that I'm looking at a static route, but I can't puzzle out what the route syntax should be. Basicly, I'm at a loss here and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. If I need to build a box specifically to sit in the middle and act as a router, I will, but I would rather not. Thanks, Cliff
