Date: 15 Nov 1996 18:07:07 GMT Organization: Matman's Electron Whorehouse Lines: 22 Message-ID: <56ibgb$jgr@smash.gatech.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: r75h87.res.gatech.edu Summary: If not, can this kind of thing be ported? Keywords: FreeBSD? LiNUX? Decisions decisions.. I have not seen amy mention in any FAQ for the *BSD series, so I thought I would ask. Just to avoid confusion, there is a kernel option in LiNUX kernels 2.0.x that allows an incoming IP packet on one interface to be rebadged as another IP with a designated port number. The net effect (I made a funny..=)) is that you can make all packets coming into the first interface appear to the rest of the world as if they came from the second interface. I ask this because from what I have heard, FreeBSD is far superior in MOST </flamebait> networking.. I would be interested in seeing the difference between the two, but this IP Masquerading is very important in our environment. Thanks for the info in advance, -- ,\\atthew ps/ Also, what is the status of DosEMU (or the equal) for FreeBSD? -- Matthew L Daniel Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I SysAdmin, WarpedPortal ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then mdaniel@warpedportal.gt.ed.net a voice says to me, "This is going to http://warpedportal.gt.ed.net/~mdaniel take more than one night."
