Hi, I have debian woody acting as a simple firewall/ipmasq box. eth0 public IP eth1 private IP.
I'm serving out IP's on eth1 but would like to go beyond 256 nodes. Currently, this is the setup for eth1: Network 10.0.0.0 IP address 10.0.0.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 My dhcpd.conf serves out IP's in this range: 10.0.0.20 - 10.0.0.254 (2-19 are reserved for other servers, printers etc) Basically, is it OK networking practise to setup my eth1 as follows?: Network 10.0.0.0 IP address 10.0.0.1 Netmask 255.255.254 broadcast 10.0.1.255 My dhcpd.conf would serve out IP's in this range: 10.0.0.20 - 10.0.1.254 Would this give me a Legal subnet of 512? (minus the network and broadcast IP's of course) I understand that I probably should throw a 3rd nic in the box and have 2 complete subnets on my private side, but I think my Motherboard is all out of PCI slots. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. :) Cheers, Mike ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
