Message-ID: <mvhE563Gy.KuL@netcom.com> Organization: Netcom On-Line Services X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 06:02:58 GMT Lines: 20 Sender: mvh@netcom18.netcom.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35216 Does it proxy all of the traffic if I have a firewall with two ethernet cards in the same subnet? i.e. if I have router --> x.x.x.5 <- bsd -> x.x.x.6 --> x.x.x.* and I turn IP forwarding on, will it allow the interior network to 'see' the router? How should I configure the two interfaces? Should I use a netmask of 0xffffffff for x.5 and 0xffffff00 for x.6? Will routed figure anything out? I did a news search for ARP_PROXYALL and found basically nothing - where is this documented? Thanks. Mike Harding
