Or, if I save up the money for a Class C (highly improbable) can I make one machine have one ip and another have the other? 2) Two - can I bind two interfaces (IP's) to the same PPP connection? E.g. if I have ... I dunno, 31.33.7.1 and 31.33.7.2, is it possible to have them both attached to ppp0 (if you need to know the reason, it's strictly vanity related - i would make 1 reverse to limbo.senate.org, and usable for regular connections, and the other to senate.org, for IRC and other such-related thingies ... ircII does have a special bind-to-specific-interface compile-time option... -- ##################### For PGP key, telnet senate.org 5000 # Nathan Dorfman # or finger nathan@senate.org # Senate Industries # /'-- www.senate.org | ftp.senate.org -- `\ ##################### \________________________________________/
