> You can not have 1 NIC with 2 IPs simply not possible, Perfectly possible. The mail server at work has 3 IPs. One of the ethernet ports on the firewall has 2 IPs. Think IP aliases (the old & more established way): ifconfig eth0 ifconfig eth0:0 ifconfig eth0:1 as well as primary/secondary/tertiary/whatever addresses on each interface (the new way): ip addr add <ip number 1>/24 bcast <broadcast 1> dev eth0 ip addr add <ip number 2>/24 bcast <broadcast 2> dev eth0 ip addr add <ip number 3>/24 bcast <broadcast 3> dev eth0 > i think u can buy network cards with upto 4 ports that all act alone, > or something similar... I've used Dlink's 4 port cards (they're really 4 individual ethernet adapters on a single card, each with it's own IRQ & IO port, as well as some "glue" to make the card look like a totally separate PCI bus), and I hear Adaptec an Intel make them as well. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7AemF/ZTSZFDeHPwRAowKAKDaQVBaowXnIcNc32pu7qy8Ko0TuQCfQC24 UwRnbZGsnKcbFCL9ldoSBUA= =2Un3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
