Alright, if you're not convinced yet that this is a
good Idea I'm going to give you an example.
I work at a training center as the Head Admin. We
teach classes on Oracle, Networks, Graphic Design, as
well as Security. (www.kdc-sd.com) Most classes are
not a problem but when we have classes like Sniffer
which is a very powerful network security application
for windows we run into difficulties. We run DHCP
server from a Red Hat Gateway, and all internet is
then routed to a single hub which all the classrooms
as well as our sales offices connect. Classes like
Sniffer tend to use what our sales managers are
emailing and where they are surfing on the web as in
class examples. (Not Good) I have looked into possibly
setting up a reverse firewall that would keep classes
from viewing what the sales employees are doing. But,
because classroom setups often change and differant
ports are used by differant software I've decided
against it. Which brings me back to why having
Internet Connection Wizard be able to handle more than
2 eth cards would be helpful. If I could segregate the
two networks by type it would be very diffacult for
the Port monitoring software to watch what we do.
