Hello! FreeBSD 5.2.1, IPFW(2 of course), 1 ext_if, 2 int_ifs, P200MMX, 96MB, HDD 2GB I have recently set up a router serving and shaping a small network +/-20 clients (mostly wireless, but that's not important, as the AP does the job). I do a static ARP, I have quite a simple firewall, of course natd is up and running fine. Some pipes and queues pretend to share the traffic fairly :). Now my concern is: 1. What is the best way to assign an external IP (I have 4 available) to a LAN client machine? 2. How (if at all) it affects traffic shaping? I would be greatful for a bunch of ideas and eternally greatful for examples of working scripts/firewall rules etc. Disclaimer: Yes, I did a google research, and found nothing that would cover the afformentioned problem. :-) At least nothing else than 'Well, you might try this ports thingy, but I don't really know if it helps.' ;-D PS: (or BTW) Maybe someone also has a solution to a problem of sharing two external connections in a reasonable way in such a network? Of course load-balancing would be desirable, but any working examples are welcome. Thank You for Your patience. -- Best regards, Fangorn fangornCUT(AT)MEo2.pl
